Revenue Laws of Alabama— 1866, 

o 

An Act to Establish Revenue Laws of the State of Alabama. 

Section 1 . Beit enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
the State of Alabama in General Assembly convened, That the following 
rules as to the taxation of persons and property are hereby established, to- 
wit : 

1. All lands subject to taxation must be taxed in proportion to their value 

2. Lands belonging to citizens of the United States residing out of the 
State cannot be taxed higher than land belonging to persons residing therein. 

3. No tax can be imposed on land, the property of the United States. 

4. All navigable waters within the State are to remain forever public high- 
ways, free to the citizens of the State and of the United States, without any 
tax, impost or toll thereon, imposed by the State. 

5. The following persons and property are exempt from taxation : 

All property belonging to the State, or any county, city or town thereof, or 
the State Bank or its branches. 

All property of the United States. 

All property of literary, scientific and benevolent institutions actually used 
for the purposes for which said institutions were created — not exempting, how- 
ever, any of such property when employed in any other than the regular 
business of such institutions. 

Houses of religious worship and their appurtenances. 

Places and monuments of the dead, and implements of burial. 

All tools and implements in actual use of any calling, occupation or trade 
to the value of one hundred dollars. 

All insane persons and their property to the value of one thousand dollars. 

All disabled or crippled soldiers whose taxable property does not exceed 
five hundred dollars, from any poll tax. 

All lands donated by acts of Congress to railroads in the State remaining 
unsold and uncultivated. 

Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That taxes are to be assessed by the assessor 
in each county, on and from the following subjects, and at the following rates, 
to-wit : 

1 . On every male inhabitant between the ages of eighteen and fifty, except 
those persons between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one the emoluments 
of whose labor goes to parents, or masters, as the case may be, the sum of 
two dollars ; and to ensure the payment of such tax, it shall be the duty of 
all partnerships, associations, corporations, officers or individuals, to return 

* to the assessor the number and names of persons in their employment on the 
first day of March preceding the assessment, as clerks, book keepers, over- 
seers, deputies, agents, workmen, journeymen or laborers, subject to such 
tax, which tax the assessor shall assess against such employer, by them to be 
collected out of the hire, wages, or salary of such employees as before enu- 
merated. 

2. On all real estate, to be estimated at the market value, in money, ac- 
cording to the best judgment the assessor can form by information, inspection 
or otherwise, taking into consideration its location, whether in a town, city,

FIRST REGIMENT ALABAMA INFANTRY. 

— 0 - 

This was the first regiment raised under the act of the Legislature of 
Alabama, (January, 1861), authorizing the enlistment of troops for tweivb 
months. The companies composing it, as organized, were ordered to ren- 
dezvous at Pensacola, for the purpose of relieving the temporary volunteer 
troops from Alabama and Mississippi, then occupying the captured forts 
Barrancas and McRae, and the Warrenton Navy Yard. The first com 
panies reached here about the 10th of February. 1861 ; the others within a 
few weeks. These companies were raised in Barbour county, commanded by 
Captains Alpheus Baker, John Clark and Jere Williams. Two from Pike ; 
Captains Augustus Owen and Dawson. One from Wilcox, Captain I. G. 
W. Steedman. One from Tallapoosa, Captain J. D. Meadows. One from 
Talladega, Captain Johnson. One from Lowndes, Captain J. D. Conyers. 
One from Mobile, Captain Ben. Lane Posey. 

From these companies the first Alabama volunteers was organized about 
the first day of April, 1861, by the election of Colonel Henry D. Clayton; 
Lieut. Colonel, J. G. W. Steedman, and Major, Jere Williams ; appointed 
Quartermaster, Capt. L. F. Johnson ; Commissary. Captain Henry Shorter; 
Adjutant, S. H. Dent; Surgeon and Assistant Surgeons, J. D. Caldwell and 
Walter Curry, 

Very soon after its organization the First Alabama was transferred to 
the Confederate States Army, by order of the Alabama Legislature, and the 
consent of the regiment. It was the nucleus around which Gen. Bragg 
organized the Army of Pensacola, (the most thorough organization ever 
made in the Confederate States). The regiment was asigned to duty in 
Fort Barrancas and the numerous heavy batteries lining the bay shore in 
that vicinity, these batteries being built and mounted chiefly by this regi- 
ment, after tremendous labor in the sand, under a scorching sun, by men 
hitherto unaccustomed to manual labor. Here they received that thorough 
instruction in heavy artillery, which enabled them to perform such efficient 
service in that arm on many trying occasions, during the succeeding periods 
of the war. They were at the same time trained in infantry tactics. It was 
to this severe discipline that the regiment owed much of its subsequent effi- 
ciency. 

The First Alabama was composed of the best material of the State ; men 
actuated solely by principle and patriotism. In its ranks were such men as 
Cochran, Pugh and Bullock ; and the “ esprit du corps” infused by such 
influences, ever characterized the First Alabama in all its eventful career 
through the war. A portion of the First Alabama was engaged in the 
fight on Santa Rosa Island, during its whole duty. The whole regiment 
participated in the heavy artillery bombardments of the 23d of November, 
and the 1st of January, 1862, and for its gallantry on these occasions receiv- 
ed complimentary orders from General Bragg. Like all the Pensacola army, 
this regiment suffered very severely from measles, camp fever and all the dis- 
eases incident to raw troops in a hot latitude. 

At the end of the twelve month’s service, the First Alabama, being the 
oldest regiment of the Confederate army, was first called upon to re-eulist 
for the war. It promptly responded, and seven companies were enlisted for 
the war ; Captains Clark and Baker’s companies from Barbour county, and 
Captain Posey’s from Mobile not re-enlisting. The re-enlisted men and 
officers were furloughed home to recruit, and upon their return the seven 
companies w^re full to the maximum. In the meantime three new coropan

PERRY & SMITH'S 


ies were raised for the regiment. One from Montgomery and Autauga* 
commanded by Captain J. F. Whitfield. One from Macon, Captain C. A. 
Stanton. One from Barbour, Captain William Pruitt. The regiment was 
reorganized by the election of Colonel I. G. W. Steedman, Lieut. Colonel 
M. B. Locke; Major S. L. Knox. Appointed Quartermaster, Captain Dun- 
can Carmichael ; Commissary, Captain Brad. Sullins ; Surgeon, Dr. Shack- 
elford ; Adjutant, 8. D. Steedman. 

Colonel Clayton had resigned for the purpose of raising the Thirty-ninth 
Alabama, and was afterwards promoted to a Major Generalship. Major Jese 
Williams retired from the army in consequence of feeble health. 

After the fail of Fort Donelson, the First Alabama was ordered to the 
garrison of Island Ten, on the Mississippi river, reaching there on the 12th 
of March, 1862 , one thousand strong. It participated in the severe and try- 
ing seige which ended in the surrender of the small force left there for the 
purpose of sacrifice , while cue fortifications of Fort Pillow were being 
strengthened. The conduct of this regiment was especially conspicuous, 
amid the general demoralization resulting from a badly organized army under 
incompetent commanders. This regiment maintained its discipline through- 
out, recei v ing complimentary orders from the general commanding. A small 
battalion of the regiment escaped capture by wading, and swimming when 
necessary, the Reelfoot lake which iay in the rear of the army and prevented 
its retreat. The mass of the regiment, about eight hundred men and officers, 
were distributed as prisoners of war in military prisons of the Northwest ; 
the men principally in Chicago and Springfield. Illinois ; the .officers on 
Johnson’s Island, (Lake Erie). They remained in prison lor six months, 
enduring all the hardships and insults incident to such a life. 

During this six months, the Battalion of the regiment tfhich had escaped 
capture, was doing efficient service, under the command of aptain R. IT. 
Isbell, first in the defence of Fort Pillow, and after its evacuation, in the 
brigade of the lamented General Villipigue, in the campaign of the summer 
of I8G2 in North Mississippi. This battalion participated in the hard 
fought battle of < orinth, and constituted a portion of the rear guard of the 
army in the difficult retreat after that disaster 

The first Alabama were released from prison on the first general exchange 
of prisoners at Vicksburg, on the 16th of September, 1862. Iy^endezvoused 
a few days in camp at Jackson, Miss. Here, through the kindness of the 
ladies of Mobile, the regiment was re-clothed, no furloughs being granted 
meu or officers. Without being even armed it was at once ordered to Port 
Hudson on the Mississippi, where it was joined by its gallant little battalion. 
Upon summing up here it was found that the regiment had lost three hun- 
dred men, by the campaign of Island Number Ten, and the resulting impris- 
onment of six months ; one hundred and fifty having actually died in prison. 

Under the thorough recruiting system always adopted by this regiment, it 
was soon filled up to its original standard, and its discipline and efficiency 
restored under the firm, but impartial command of Colonel Steedman, the 
thorough soldier commanding it. At Port Hudson the regiment was again 
assigned to heavy batteries, which the men had to construct and mount after 
great labor. r oming as they did into this malarial region in the fall, debili- 
tated by imprisonment, the men suffered greatly from malarial fever and 
diarrhae. At this time and afterwards, Drs. Hamilton of Mobile and Mad- 
ding of North Alabama, were surgeon and assistant surgeon for the regiment 
and were always favorites with it. 

In the memorable seige of Port Hudson, which began, on the 27th of May, 
1 863, the first Alabama especially distinguished itself. Those who partici-

pated in its unequal struggle, give to this regiment the highest praise for the 
conspicuous gallantry with which their tried soldiers repulsed the numerous 
assaults made by the enemy upon its lines ; also for the uncomplaining for- 
titude with which they stood the scorching rays of a summer sun, and the 
pinchings of hunger when the provisions of the garrison had been exhausted. 
When called upon by the commanding General to know if they would 'eat 
mule meat rather than surrender, they replied — “yes ! give us dog, if neces- 
sary !” The loss of the regiment during the seige, was about one hundred 
and fifty men, killed and wounded. With the balance of the little army, 
this regiment was again surrendered, but the non-commissioned officers and 
privates were paroled, and permitted to go to their homes as best they could, 
through the pine wastes of East Louisiania, South Mississippi and West 
Alabama. The officers of the regiment were kept as prisoners of war. For 
two months they were confined in prison in New Orleans ; thence they were 
sent by sea to New York, and from there by rail to Johnson Island, on Lake 
Erie. The majority of these gallant officers were never exchanged, but lan- 
guished in the various Northern prisons, for nearly two years, suffering all 
the rigors of the uncivilized retaliatory measures so much in vogue during the 
last year of this horrible war. 

After a short furglough the men of this regiment and the few officers who 
had escaped capture, were ordered to rendezvous on the 19th of September, 
1863, in parole camp at Cahaba. On the 16th of October, 1861 , they were 
declared exchanged ; and on the 10th of November, the regiment, under com- 
mand of l^ajor Samuel L. Knox, reported to General Joseph E. Johnston, 
at Meridian, Mississippi, mustering six hundred and ten muskets. Here the 
regiment participated in the campaign aginst General Sherman, in his 
famous raid from Vicksburg to Meridian. When the army reached the Tom- 
bigbee river, the first Alabama was ordered to the garrisons of Forts Powell 
and Gaines, where it reported to Major General Maury on the 25th of March. 
After a short stay here, on the 5th of May it was ordered to Pollard, Alabama® 
Taking advantage of this rest, the regiment was again recruited ; and on 
the 23rd of May, 1864, when it reported in the Army of Tennessee, at 
Altoona, to General Johnston, it numbered six hundred muskets, the regiment 
being in perfect order, exc ting the admiration of the army. 

From this time forward, until the close of the war, the history of the first 
Alabama is identified with that of the Army of Tennessee. The regiment was 
temporarily attached to Canty’s Alabama brigade? and with it fought thet 
battle of New Hope Church on the 28th of May. Immediately after this i 
was transferred to Quarles’ brigade, where it remained until the close of the 
war. On the 27th of June the first Alabama took a conspicuous part in the 
battle of Kenesaw Mountain. Its ranks being full, and occupying a prominent 
position on the mountain, its gallant conduct was remarked by all. It wa3 
again actively engaged on the 19th of July, in the battle of Peach-tree Creek, 
and suffered considerable loss. The most destructive, if not the most des- 
perate battle, in which the first Alabama has ever participated, was around 
Atlanta, on the 28th of July, 1864. It was engaged in the desperate assault 
made against the enemy’s lines on this day. " The heroic manner in which 
these gallant and tried soldiers withstood the frightful destruction rained 
upon them from the enemy’s works, has stamped them as heroes. One 
half of the regiment, (about 300,) were killed and wnunded on this field. 

When Atlanta was evacuated the first Alabama withdrew with the rest of 
the army, on the line of the Macon and Atlanta Rail Road It remained 
here until the beginning of General Hood’s bold, but disastrous campaign 
in the rear of General Sherman, and against Nashville. The first Alabama 
shared all the toils and marches and battles of this campaign. At Franklin 


t

Tennessee, the whole regiment was engaged in the assault upon the work* 
of that place. Its loss here in killed, wounded and captured was very heavy, 
perhaps 150 men. It was here, while gallantly leading the regiment, that 
Major Samuel L. Knox received his mortal wound, dying a few days after- 
wards. Alabama has never produced a more gallant young officer than he was. 

Again in the battle before Nashville the first Alabama was engaged, losing 
heavily, (total about seventy-five.) 

Exhausted and worn out the regiment reached Verona, Mississippi, with 
the remnants of Stewart’s Corps, and on the 16th of January, 1865, was 
ordered with the Army of Tennessee to North Carolina. After much delay 
and great suffering the regiment reached Goldsboro, North Carolina ; a 
small portion of the regiment participating in the two last battles of the 
war, Averysboro and Bentonville. On the last day of the last battle at 
sundown, Lieutenant Win. Williamson of the first Alabama was mortally 
wounded — as true a christain soldier and patriot as ever lived, he was beloved 
by all. 

The first Alabama was present and ended its career at the surrender of 
General Joseph E. Johnston to General Sherman, on the 27th of April, 1865, 
at Greensboro, North Carolina. At this time the regiment did not number 
exceeding one hundred. Upon its rolls during the whole war there are not 
less than three thousand names. 

In as meagre an outline as this sketch is, it is impossible to enter into 
the detail of the regimental history. And where all its men and officers 
have proved themselves heroes thoughout this terrible war, it is impossible 
to designate individuals. The fame of the first Alabama is without a stain ; 
none can say aught against it. It never faltered upon a battlefield, or failed 
to obey promptly and without murmur, every order. 

It was conspicuous in every command in which it served throughout the 
war, for its discipline and thorough, soldier-like conduct. It was ever pointed 
to as a model regiment. Desertion was unknown to its ranks. The same 
high-toned, patriotic ‘'esprit du corps,” which characterized its early history, 
was maintained to the last. Its dead lie scattered upon many batttlefieds, 
and in the cold, dismal burial grounds of Northern prisons. Peace be to 
their ashes ; and may Alabama honor their memories by caring for their 
widows and orphans. 


THIRD REGIMENT ALABAMA INFANTRY. 

O 

At the first sound of the tocsin of war the companies from Mobile, Mont- 
gomery, Lowndes, Coosa and Macon counties, offered their services to 
the State of Alabama, and Provisional Confederate Government, and hur- 
ried to the rendezvous at Montgomery, where they were formed into Regi- 
ment, since known as the Third Alabama Infantry. Its organization was as 
follows : 

1st. Mobile Cadets, Mobile, Capt. R. M. Sands. 

2d. Mobile Rifles, Mobile, Capt. L. T. Woodruff. 

3d. Washington Light Infantry, Mobile, Capt. A. Gracie, Jr. 

4th. Tuskegee Light Infgntry, Tuskegee, Capt. W. G. Swanson. 

6th. Southern Rifles, Union Springs, Capt. R. H. Powell. 

6th. Gulf City Guards, Mobile, Captain W. H. Hartwell. 

7th. Montgomery True Blues, Montgomery, Capt. W. G. Andrews. 

8th. Metropolitan Guards, Montgomery, Capt. F. Winston Hunter. 

9th. Wetumpka Light Guards, Wetumpka, Capt. E. S. Ready. 

10th. Lowndes Beauregards, Lowndes, Captain M. F. Bonham. 






MONTGOMERY DIRECTORY. 6 7 

In obedience to orders from the Adjutant General of the State of Alabama, 
an election was held for Field Officers, with the following result : 

Jones M. Withers, Colonel, Mobile. 

Tenent Lomax, Lieutenant Colonel, Montgomery. 

Cullen A. Battle, Major, Tuskegee. 

2nd Lieut. C. Forsyth, Mobile Cadets, appointed Adjutant. 

Win. S. Moreland, Mobile Cadets, appointed Sergeant Major. 

When these companies had been formed into a Regiment, it was turned 
over to the Provisional Confederate Government, and the following Staff 
Officers appointed : 

E. A. Sample, Surgeon, Montgomery. 

Paul C. Lee, Assistant Surgeon, Montgomery. 

John W. A. Sanford, Captain and A. Q. M., Montgomery. 

B. L. Wyman, Captain and A. C. S.; Montgomery. 

From Montgomery the Regiment was ordered to Lynchburg, Va., one of 
the military rendezvous’ of the Confederate Provisional Army, and after re- 
maining there a few days, was sent to Norfolk, which was then thought 
would be the main point of attack. 

The regiment was selected for this duty because most of the companies 
forming it had been old organizations, and was thought to be better prepared 
to take the field than regiments from the State which had not the same 
nucleus to build around. As a matter of history it is proper to say that it 
was the first Regiment from Alabama that started for the theatre of war. 

Subsequent developments did not justify the expectations formed by the 
Government as to the main and primary point of attack, although Norfolk, 
with its magnificent works, navy yards, ships and splendid docks, made it 
more than reasonable to suppose that the Federal Government would lose 
no time or means to wrest so important a point from the “rebels.” 

Both officers and men receiAed the orders to proceed to Norfolk, with glad 
and cheerful feelings, ambitious as all were then to be first to strike for the 
sacred cause which the sacrifice of so many noble and gallant spirits has 
since made doubly dear to every Southern heart. 

In this, however, they were destined to be disappointed. Weeks and 
months rolled on, and yet no active service. The enemy concentrated on 
the line of the Potomac, and the tide of battle, which a short time previous, 
seemed destined to lash its furies against the devoted and since unfortunate 
city, was soon turned to the banks of this magnificent stream. 

It will not be amiss to state here that the regiment during this time was 
under the command of Lieut. Cpl. Lomax, Col. Withers, very soon after 
his arrival, having been assigned to the command of a brigade, consisting of 
the 1st Virginia, Col. Mahone, (since Brigadier and Major-General,) 12th 
Virginia, Col Weissiger, and his own regiment, the 3d Alabama. 

Although a state of inactivity prevailed, as far as field operations were con* 
cerned, the time was not lost, or spent uselessly. Constant and hard drib 
ling, under the supervision and instruction of the accomplished Lomax, was 
the order of the day, and the twelve months of anxious attention on his part, 
to the training and drill of his men, laid the foundation for the reputation 
which the Third Alabama subsequently won on more aGtive and bloody 
fields. 

In July, Col. Withers having been appointed Brigadier General, and or- 
dered to Mobile, an election was held for Field officers, with the following 
result : T. Lomax, Col. ; C. A. Battle, Lieut. Col. ; C. Forsyth, major, and 
Lieut. J. A. Wilson, of the Southern Rifles, appointed Adjutant. 

In April, 1862, the Regiment, at its reorganization, re-elected all of its 
Field officers. Lieut. S. B. Johnson, T. L. I., was appointed Adjutant, 
▼ice Lieut. Wilson resigned; and Lieut. T. P. Btown, M. C., Capt. and A. 
Q. M., vice Capt. Sanford resigned.

A division in Capt’s. Andrews’ and Bonham’s companies, (part of the for- 
mer transferred to artilllery service,) having occurred, a new company was 
formed, and named, in honor of the gallant commander of the Regiment — 
the “Lomax Sharp Shooters,” under Capt. Bonham — Capt. C. Robinson 
taking charge of the “Lowndes Beauregards.” Aboi t the same time the 
“Dixie Eagles,” Capt. J elks, Union Springs, was attached to the Regiment. 

After repeated memorials, signed by both officers and men, to be transfer- 
red to Manassas and the Peninsula, movements indicated that the hour of 
inactivity had passed, and that the Regiment must soon take its place by the 
side of those who had toiled and suffered on the long and weary marches 
from the Potomac to Richmond and Yorktown. On the 5th day of May, 
1862, oners were issued for the evacuation of Norfolk, and although anxious 
for active service, there was not a man who did not leave the city with a 
heavy heart, knowing as they did that the kind and hospitable people who had 
entertained them so handsomely in health, and watched "with such tender 
care over their sick beds, must soon be subjected to the taunts and insults of 
enemies. 

The Regiment was moved to Suffolk and vYeldon, and afterwards to Pe- 
tersburg, where it remained only a few days. It was then sent to Drewry’s 
Bluff, to support the batteries at that point which were being threatened by 
the enemy’s gunboats. 

Several companies were deployed as sharp shooters on the banks of the 
James, and contributed no little in harrassing and driving the enemy from 
their guns. Hurried to the scene of action, tents and all comforts to which 
the men had been accustomed were left behind, and their exposure for the 
first time to rain and bad weather produced a vast deal of sickness. In less 
than a week the Regiment was reduced by disease to less than one half of its 
actual strength. 

Three days before the battle of Seven Pines the Regiment was ordered to 
Richmond, and on the 1st day of June, 1862, received its first lesson in the 
horrors of war. Held in the second line (Saturday, the 31st May,) as a re- 
serve, the men soon saw that the next morning must initiate them into 
scenes entirely different from those of the past twelve months. 

Before daylight Sunday morning, orders were received to move forward, 
and in a s ort time the regiment rested on the redoubt that had been so gal- 
lantly carried the day previous. All seemed quiet, and nothing to indicate 
the presence of an enemy, save the ravages of the bloody fight of Saturday. 
Resting in this position, orders were received about seven o'clock by Gen. 
Mahone, to thrown bis brigade into the woods to the left of the Williamsburg 
road, and form into line of battle. By the carelessness or stupidity of some 
one, no intimation was given of the proximity of the enemy — in fact, it was 
general^ understood that he had been driven a mile beyond the point the 
day previous. 

In obedience to instructions, however, the line was quickly formed, and 
the knowledge of the enemy’s presence was only gained from the regiment 
that had moved in ahead, and to the right of the brigade, and which had been 
fired upon by the enemy while their guns were stacked, and the men were 
lying down resting. Then came a well directed volley, which played sad 
havoc in the ranks of the Third. Nothing daunted it moved steadily on, 
the order to “fix bayonets,” “charge” was given by the gallant Lomax, and 
the men pressing forward drove the enemy ahead of them in confusion, 
through a dense thicket and abattis. This line fell back on a second, 
drawn up on the side of a hill, and separated from the Confederate troops 
by a ravine. 

Finding it impossible to dislodge them, and supports failing to come up on 
the right and left, Col. Lomax gave the order to lie down. In this position 
the regiment fought for nearly two hours. The enemy finding he was en-

gaging only a small body of men, moved his troops so as to enfilade from 
both flanks, and the regiment was withdrawn under orders, to prevent cap- 
ture and destruction. 

In this short space of time, one hundred and ninety-seven officers and 
men were placed hors du combat. The boast and pride of the regiment 
lay a corpse, not two hundred yards in its front, and the posititon held by 
the enemy. A number of men went forward to recover his body, but most of 
them were either killed, wounded, or captured, and the effort had to be 
abandoned. No officer ever commanded a body of men who had in a great- 
er degree the love, confidence and respect of all than Col. Lomax. It 
was a sad day to them, and his loss could scarcely have been felt more by 
his nearest and dearest relatives. In his death Alabama lost one of her 
most distinguished citizens, the Confederacy an officer of great gallantry and 
military attainments, and the regiment a devoted friend and leader. There, 
too, the gallant Mays, Johnson, Brown and Ellis fell ; fit company to follow 
the spirit of the dauntless Lomax to that “bourne from wh( nee no traveler 
returns.*’ Capt. Wat. Phelan was severely wounded in this engagement. 

After this battle, Mahone’s brgade was sent to the Charles City road, 
where it remained on outpost duty. About the middle of June, orders from 
the Adjutant General’ office, requiring troops from the same State to be 
brigaded together, compelled the regiment to sever those ties of friendship 
and esteem whi; h had bound them to General Mahone and the splendid Vir- 
ginia troops under his command, The. 12 th Mississippi, then in Rodes’ 
brigade, was sent to a Mississippi organization, and the 3d Alabama ordeied 
to supply its place. The regiment petitioned to retain its former position, 
against a change of brigade and division commanders, a request which could 
not be complied with. A few days after this change it became evident that 
important events were about to transpire, and the masterly campaign of the 
seven days’ battles around Richmond was opened on the 26th of June. The 
regiment played its part at Mechanicsville, Cold Harbor and Bottom’s 
Bridge, and on the 1 st day of July was hurried into that slaughter-pen Mal- 
vern Hill, without line or order, although the gallant General Gordon — then 
Colonel of the 6 tli Alabama, and commanding the brigade — protested against 
putting his men into action until his line had been formed. In this battle 
the regiment lost two hundred and seven killed and wounded. Returning 
to Richmond after a week of severe trials, exposure and suffering, not more 
than one hundred and eighty men could be mustered for duty 5 but the con- 
valescent wounded from the battle of Seven Pines, and sick from the differ- 
ent hospitals, soon swelled the ranks to over three hundred for duty. 

The fight at Malvern Hill proper was the bloodiest and most fruitless of 
the war, and the officer who commanded that portion of the line will never 
be forgotten by any under his orders. As far as the division to which the 
Third was attached was concerned, it made a desperate, but under the cir 
cumstances hopeless sacrifice. Rodes’ Brigade commanded by Colonel 
(since Brigadier, Major, and Lieutenant-General) Gordon, held the right of 
it, and the Third the right of this brigade. Under orders from Major 
General Hill, the regiment was deployed to the right under orders to 
feel for Gen. Holmes’ division (not Gen. Huger’ s as has so often been erro- 
neously stated,) but faiiing to discover any troops in this direction, was 
moved forward several hundred yards, when it was discovered the enemy 
was on its immediate flank, and it over half a mile from the rest of the divi- 
sion and brigade. A rapid movement to the left soon filled up the gap, and 
formed in column of regiments, the command stood under an artillery fire 
of about sixty guns, where it seemed as if nothing could live, until the mur- 
derous and hopeless charge was ordered which resulted so disastrously to 
the division. The men displayed a fortitude and courage which entitle them 
to the admiration of the whole world. But it was dearly bought. Out of 


60 


PERRY & SMITH’S 


345 officers and men in the Third alone, 207 fell killed or wounded, inclu- 
ding seven color-bearers. Under ordinary circumstance it would be invid- 
ious, where such universal gallantry was displayed, to mention names ; but 
there was one noble youth who fell with his face to the enemy, at least 40 
yards in front of the entire Confederate line, whose character and courage 
will ever live in the memory of those who survived the bloody day at Mal- 
vern Hill. I do not feel justified in omitting the name of F. G. S ewart, 
Co. A. His distinguished gallantry was the remark of the entire command. 

Nothing of special interest occurred, except an alarm occasioned by 
McClellan’s weak attempt at a show of strength in attacking our pickets at 
Malvern Hill, until the 19th of August, when the regiment with the rest of 
the brigade received marching orders to support General Stonewall Jackson 
in his operations against Gen Pope. The division (D. H. Hill’s) was kept 
well on the left flank of the army, between it and the Orange and Alexan- 
dria Railroad, and consequently did not get up in time to participate in 
either of the battles of Cedar Run or second Manassas. A few days after 
those battles, the army took up the line of march for Maryland. Col. (after- 
wards Lieutenant General) Gordon, commanding the brigade, made a stir- 
ring speech to the men, saying that Alabamians had been selected to cross 
the Potomac first and plant the bonnie blue flag in the enemy’s territory. 
Being in the advance that day, the Third Alabama was the first to cross the 
river, and its colors waved over Maryland’s soil amid the deafening shouts 
and cheers of the men. There was a feeling of sad disappointment, how- 
ever, at the cold and formal reception of the people, and many predictions 
were made as to the ultimate result of the campaign. The sensation was a 
new one though, and buoyed with the recent splendid achievements of the 
army before Richmond, and at Cedar Run and Manassas, the feeling of de- 
spondency soon gave way to more pleasing convictions of victory and suc- 
cess. After destroying the Cumberland and Ohio Canal, the march was 
again resumed, and at 12 o'clock on the night of the 6th of September, it 
formed a junction with General Jackson’s forces about 11 miles from Fred- 
erick City. Arriving near Frederick City next day, the command went into 
camp and remained until it was necessary to make a movement towards 
Boonsboro, to cover the flank of our army operating against Harper’s Ferry. 
At Boonsboro, or South Mountain, the regiment played an important and 
bloody part in the engagement of the 14th September. The brigade had 
been divided — three regiments, the 3d, 12th and 26th, (Colonel 0*Neal,) on 
the right, and the 5th and 6th on the left of a deep gorge in the mountain. 
The enemy advanced a full division against these positions, and succeeded 
in turning and compelling the regiments on the left to give back to avoid 
capture. The position of those on the right of the brigade was such, how- 
ever, that these regiments could hold their position until the enemy had got- 
ten considerably on their left flank and rear. The fight made here was a 
stubborn and gallant one, and the men only fell back when overpowered and 
when the enemy had gained their rear so far as to make capture certain to 
those who attempted to hold this line. No panic was visible, but a splendid 
resistance was made throughout the whole movement to the top of the 
mountain. Every man seemed to feel that the situation was precarious and 
desperate, and the ground was only relinquished to overwhelming numbers, 
inch by inch. Night put an end to the contest; and about 12 o'clock our 
troops were withdrawn to concentrate on a more sanguinary field at Sharps- 
burg. The regiment received a handsome compliment from the brigade 
commander in his report of the battle of South Mountain. 

Up to this time nothing had been heard from General Jackson, and the 
position was interesting and delicate in the extreme. Rumors were circula- 
ted freely that General McLaws had been forced from his position at Cramp 
ton's Gap, a point of great strategic importance to General Lee’s immediat*

command, and to General Jackson in his operations against Harper’s Ferry. 
Had McClellan been able to occupy this gap, he could have easily thrown a 
large portion of his force between General Lee and Jackson, and pressing 
the former with the main body of his army from Boonsboro,’ made the des- 
truction of the two divisions with him a matter of easy accomplishment. To 
add to this gloom and discomfiture, scouts from the direction of Sheppards- 
town and Hagerstown reported the capture of General Longstreet’s ordnance 
train, by a body of cavalry from Harper’s Ferry, and for a time the painful 
question of how to get out of Maryland, was the only one discussed ? There 
was one, however, who, whatever may have been his inward thoughts, show- 
ed no outward signs of misgivings or uneasiness, and it was mainly due to 
the calm and confident look of that good and great man, that the mere 
handful of men, worn down from fatigue and hunger, took heart again and 
showed themselves ready to follow where the trusty Lee might lead. Gen- 
eral Longstreet brought up the rear on the retreat from Boonsboro’. The 
enemy finding with daylight that our forces had been withdrawing during the 
night, commenced a leisurely pursuit. Our line of battle was formed, and 
the noble Lee awaited his attack. In the meantime, the cheering news of 
our success at Harper’s Ferry was announced, and part of the troops engaged 
at that point were hurried to the support of this portion of the army. 

The general result is too well known to need recital again. Notwithstand- 
ing our troops were broken down and half starved, the enemy was defeated, 
after a terrible and desperate struggle, and McClellan was content to 
permit General Lee to retire quietly and unmolested to the Virginia banks 
of the Potomac. After the brilliant affair of General A. P. Hill at Shepards- 
town, Va., in which the enemy were ambushed and badly used up, the army 
wns withdrawn to Bunker Hill, a central position between Martinsburg, 
Charlestown and Winchester, from which point the troops were sent to des- 
troy the Baltimore and Ohio and the Winchester and Harper’s Ferry rail- 
roads. Marches and countermarches were constantly made, taking the cir 
cuitous route to Berry ville, Ashby’s Gap, Paris, Manassas Gap and Front 
Royal, and Strasburg, back to Middletown, where the division encamped 
until the 25th of November. While at Middletown, the brigade commander 
paid the regiment the handsome compliment of appointing one of its officers 
temporarily to the command of one of the regiments of the brigade for drill 
and instruction, and afterward placing all the officers and non-commissioned 
officers of the brigade under his command for that purpose. 

The enemy commenced massing at Warrenton, but soon after changed his 
base to Fredericksburg, and it became necessary to make dispositions to de- 
feat this movement. Forced marches were made from the Valley to Gor- 
donsville, (the distance, 101 miles, being made in less than five days, thirty 
miles of which was over rough and mountainous roads,) and afterwards the 
Division was ordered to Port Royal via Orange C. H. and Fredericksburg. 

On the night of the 12th December, the Regiment, with the rest of the 
Brigade, was moved back to Fredericksburg to take part in the memorable 
battle at that place, and occupied the third, second and first lines of battle, 
consecutively, until the enemy retreated to his side of the Rappahanock. 
During the latter part of April, General Hooker, puffed up with the idea of 
his own importance, imagined that he had been sent by a special Providence 
to recover the laurel of Federal arms, which his unfortunate predecessor 
(Burnside) had permitted to drop in his hands. Demonstrations were made, 
in heavy force, opposite Fredericksburg, and on the 30th the Regiment was 
formed in line once more neat Hamilton’s crossing. That night they were 
moved by the left flank, up the river, destined, in a few hours, to write in 
getters of blood the brightest page in the history of the 3d Alabama. No 
Regimen! ever passed through an engagement with more honor and credit, 
or won more universal praise than it did on the 2d and 3d of May. It re-

ceived high compliments from Generals Jack son, Stewart and Ramseur, be’ 
sides the substantial fruits of three pieces of artiiery and two stands of col- 
ors. For the length of it, this campaign is pronounced by many the sever- 
est of the war. The loss of the Regiment, in the two days’ engagements, was 
24 killed and 125 wounded. 

On the fourth day of June the army was put in motion for the Pennsylvania 
campaign. Resting a few days near Culpepper court house, where a severe 
cavalry engagement was fought, it pushed on towards the Shenandoah 
Valley, crossing the Blue Ridge at Front Royal, and the regiment participated 
with the rest of the brigade in the blundering operations against about 1,500 
men at Berryville, and on the 13th against Martinsburg, where a few prison- 
ers and five pieces of artillery were captured by Gen. Jenkins’ cavalry. Go 
the 19th inst. the division crossed the Potomac for the second time at Williams- 
port, and moved on Hagerstown, Md., Green Castle and Chambersburg, Pa., 
where a halt was made to give the rest of army time to come up. 7'he 
reception at Hagerstown, Md., was cordial beyond expectation, and showed 
plainly that a decided and marked ehanjre in favor of the South had taken 
place in the minds of the people since the army had entered the State nearly 
a year previous. 

At Chambersburg the 3d Alabama was placed on duty in the city as Provost 
Guard, and many amusing scenes took place between the people and men, 
which want of space prevents detailing. The men were quartered in a theatre, 
decorated by the enemy in honor of the ‘Heroes of Chancellorsville,’ the chan- 
deliers hung with large letters — spelling ‘Hooker House.’ This incident is 
mentioned to show the arrogance and the perfect system of deception prac- 
ticed by the politicians to keep the people in the dark as to the real state < f 
affairs. The first inscription was appropriate, however, for it was fated that 
the real heroes — Confederate troops — should be thrown into the very Hall 
decorated for those who had been so severely defeated and punished by them 
at Chancellorsville. 

On the 26th the regiment was relieved from duty in the city, and ordered to 
rejoin the Brigade then on the march to Shippensburg and Carlisle. At the 
latter place a halt was made until the 80th, when the march was again resum- 
ed on the Baltimore pike through Papertown and Petersburg, taking the 
Gettysburg road at this point, and camping at Heidelburg. At seven o’clock 
on the 1st of July, the division moved on the Chambersburg road 1o Middle- 
town, and took the Gettysburg road again at this place. About 11 o'clock 
Gen. A. P. Hill’s guns anounced the appearance of the enemy. 

Artillery and staff officers were hurrie d to the front, and it was evident 
there was hot work ahead. The line was quickly formed on the right of the 
road, and moved forward nearly a mile, where it was halted under a heavy 
artillery fire, in support of Col. Carter’s Batteries. 4 he 3d Alabama was at 
that time in the front line, connecting with the left of Gen. Iverson's Brig- 
ade. Gen. Rodes gave the order in person to march the regiment back 
about two hundred yards, to connect with Daniels’ Brigade, in the second 
line, and to move and keep connected wit i it. The latter part of this order 
was again repeated by him a short time afterwards. Being in the woods, 
and the rest of the Brigade on the side of a hill, the other Regiments compo- 
sing it could not see the 3d, when it moved at the order taken up from Dan- 
iels’ Brigade. Disconnected from the other Regiments, it moved with Gen- 
eral Daniels as ordered, and it was not discovered, until the men wore un- 
der a heavy musketry fire, that they were separated from the rest of the 
Brigade. Finding himself thus isolated from the command Coh nel (now 
Brigadier General) Battle immediately sent a message to General Dai iels to 
take command of the Regiment and direct it with his Brigade. The proffer 
being declined, it was determined, after a moment’s consuIUdion with two 
of the field officers, to march by the left flank, and, if possible, to regain the

Brigade. This move was made under a terrible fire, and with the loss of a 
number of officers and men. 

[It is justice to say that General Daniels afterwards explained to Colonel 
Battle hat the message sent by him was' misunderstood by the bearer of it.] 

After proceeding about, a quarter of a mile, that gallant and accomplished 
officer, General Ramseur, came in sight with two of his regiments, moving 
to the support of one of the brigades of the division, which was being sorely 
pressed by the enemy. At his request the regiment was temporarily at- 
tached to his command, and in a few moments he led a gallant charge, dri- 
ving the enemy from a stone fence, and contributing vastly to the success of 
the day, which a short time previous seemed destined to go against our 
troops. General Ramseur paid the regiment a handsome tribute in his re- 
port of this battle. 

About the same time, the dauntless Gordon, with his splendid Georgia, 
brigade, broke the enemy on their right, and the whole line soon gave way 
in panic and route. They were followed, terror- sricken, through the streets 
of Gettysburg, but from some cause a halt was ordered, at a moment when a 
complete victory and the formidable heights beyond the city were in our grasp. 

[The object 01 h halt has always been a mystery, and. the men can never be 
made to believe t at the cause did n t receive a most fatal blow in it. The 
enemy wer without line or order ; their whole force in signt had been terr bD 
whipped, and at tha time the only organization visible wa- two pie es of field 
artillery, firing ra idly and at random. The next two days proved how disastrous 
the pause as to us.] 

.On the 2d, the regiment wl h the rest of the br'gade, was held in reserve until 
n'gbt, when it was again put forward to assist in a comtemplated night attack, 
but which was subsequently abandoned. At daylight next morning it was 
ordered, wLh the brigade, to the left, to support General Johnson, and after a 
sever engagement, finding it impossible to dislodge the enemy „from his strong- 
hold on the mountain, the w ole torce w s wit dr wn. 

0'» the 4th of July, Gen. Lee retired a short, distance, threw up works, and 
a wafted the attacks of the en my. Finding that Gen. Meade was changing his 
position towards our flank, tne army retired to Hagerstown, where it threw up 
enti enehments, in expectation of an attack, and rsn ained there until the nig it of 
the 13 ! h. when the apidly ising iver forced our troops to recross the Potomac, 
to prevent being cut off from su plies drawn from the Virginia side. The Army 
then marched to Darksville, where it remained until the 2 2d of July, when it 
became necessar to move towards the ltapidan, which the enem; were trying 
to make ahead of us. 

At Front R >yal they attempted to cut our column off from the main body of the 
Army, but failing in it, the march was continued to Orange Court House, via 
bperrvville and Madison Court House. 

On he 20th of August, Col. Battle having been promoted to Brig. Ceneral, the 
following offic is wer appoi ted to fill vacancies: Lieut. Col. Forsyth to be 
Colonel; Major Sands to be Lieut. Colonel; apt. Powell, Co. B,, to be M jo r; D. 
R. Dun>ap to be Adjutant, vice Lieut. Picket appointed Capt. and Asss’t Adj’t 
General ; Private D. E Pras, Co. B., Sergt Major. 

To meet the demonstrations of the enemy at Summerville and Morton’s Ford, 
the regiment with the Brigade, was ordered there and camped at the latter place 
until the 14sh of Sep ember. On the 18th of October the flank movement which 
compelled Gen Meade to tall ba k across the Rappahannock and evacuate Cul- 
pepper < ourt, House, was commenced. 

After a brisk skirmish at arrenton Springs with a large force of Yankee 
cavalry, and tearing u she Or nge and Alexandria Road, the regiment returned 
to Kelly’s and afterwards to Morton’s Ford, exactly one month lr. m the time it 
had s arte on the^ camp ign. Nothing of inter st occurred until the 26th of 
November, when Gen. Meade crossed below and made another movement against 
the right flank of the army, and the troops were disposed so as to frustrate this 
attempt. There was c* ns-iderab skirmishing in the immediate front of the 
Division, in which the regiment was att- eked, but no regular engagement on that 
part of ihe line. After remaining in 1 ne of b’t.te for seven days at Mine Run, 
during very severe and cold weather, the enemy declining tom keanattack, 
retreated across the river, and our troops eturnedto their camps, and a short 
time afterwards went int© winter quarters near Orange C. II. 


64 PERRY & SMITH’S 

On the 4th of February the brigade was ordered to Hanover Junction and 
Richmond to n eet a movem nt from the p eninsula against the Capitd. The 
enemy, however, abandoned the desig \ temporarily. It remained thereuntil the 
lfcth of the mon h, when it was ordered back to winter quarters at Orange C. H. 

In making this report I have found it impossible to mention the distinguished 
and gallant acts of indivi 'ual officers or men, without taking up more space than 
would probably be allotted to the regiment in t e work containing the history of 
the Alabama troops ; but have been compe led to confine myself to statements 
and facts of a general character, and to speak of the regiment as a whole. It 
was impossible also to men ion the other ga lant regiments of the brigade, who 
shared equally with the 3d Alabama the ho ors, toils and hardships of many 
battle-fields and marches, and to whom the State of Alabama will ever look with 
feelings of j ust pride and gratitude for their inestimable services in the great 
, cause in which the South staked her all. . C. FORSYTH, Colonel.

CANTY’S BRIGADE. 

For a long time after its a> vent into the army of Tennessee, this famous brig- 
ade was fami liarly known as the “Silver-spoon brigade,” on account of the 
obstinacy of Gen. Maury at Mobile, in keeping it on garrison duty. It was 
composed at that time of only two regiments the 17th and ‘29th Alabama; com- 
manded respectively by Cols. V. S. Murphey, of Montgomery, an J. F. conelly, 
of Dallas. The 17th fought bravely at the battle of Shiloh, and over two hun- 
dred of its gallant spirits perished on that bloody field. The two regiments 
reported to Gen Johnston at Dalton, in March, 1864, with twenty-four hundred 
men. which was by far the largest brigade in the ar y at that time. 

The first engagement of the twenty-ninth was at R-saca on the 12th and 13th 
of May, in wdiich it lost in killed and wounded, nearly five hundred men. This 
regiment was in front of the entire army two days and nights, and <>roug' t on 
the general fight on the 15th of May, in wrtiob one gallant Lieut. Col."(E. P. 
Holcombe of the seve teentb) was so severely wounded as to render him 1 nable 
for A dd duty for nearly a year. 

The brigade in this battle won “a name that was not born to die,” and the 
obnox ous sobriquet of th < “Silver-spoon brigade” was never afterwards heard. 
It was engaged in all the battles from Dalton to Jonesboro; and lost in killed, 
woun 'ed and captured fi'teen hundred men, including two-thirds of the field and 
line officers. The history of the brigade, in the disastrous Tennesse * campaign, 
(the first and 26th Alabama, and the 37th Mississipi, having been added to iff is 
known to the whol^ country. Gen. Hood has often been heard to say that the 
strategy of its commander,' Brig. Gen. C M Shelley, prevented the capture of 
Stewart’s entire Corps at Franklin 

The seventeenth and twenty-ninth after this campaign numbered only about 
two hundred men, with which number, and perhaps about one hundred that 
“ fell in on the way-side,” they reported to their first love. General Johnston at 
Raieigh, N. C. Nearly all the field, nnd two thirds of the line officers of the first, 
seventeenth, twenty -sixt and twenty-ninth Alabama, at this time had been 
either killed, disabled or captured. Major Turner, ‘*f the twenty-ninth, com- 
manded the brigade at Ben onsville, N. C., and lost a limb. 

Of the officers of the seventeenth, we remember with just pride Colonel Hol- 
combe, Maj Burnett, Capts. Sadler, O’Brien. Hester, McMillen, Ragland, Tate, 
McCain and Burns, Lieuts. Rainer, Tutt, McMillan, McIntyre, Hull, Caffey, More- 
land, Dunklin and others. Of the twenty-ninth w r e remember Col. Conoley, Maj, 
Turner, Capts. Dew, Gardner, Abernethy, Hanner, Orean, Foster and others, 
many of whom ‘ sleep their lost sleep,” or are limping o i cru c v es throng the 
land they li >ve helped to immortalize. At the consolidation in North Carolinia 
the seventeenth, twenty-nin h and thirty-seventh Alabama were united, num- 
bering about 400 men. Col. E. P. Holcombe, of Lowndes county, was made col- 
onel, Cap’. J. F. Tate, of Russell county was made lieutenant colonel, and Capt. 
Benjamin Screws, of Barbour, was made major. Soon thereafter the crushing 
news of Lee’s surrender was received, and here the bright record of Canty’# 
brigade ended.

TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT ALABAMA INF’Y. 

m 

0 

A want of thorough information prevents me from entering into what I 
deem a true history of this Regiment— the part it bore in the many ardu- 
ous campaigns and sanguinary battles of the “ Western Army ” — of which 
it was a member from the time the troops of General A. S. Johnston were 
assembled around Corinth, Miss , in 1861, till the surrender of our flag on the 
26th of April, 1865. 

A battalion, consisting of seven companies, under the command of Wil- 
liam D. Chadwick, of Huntsville, Ala., was consolidated with a smaller bat- 
talion, from the interior of the State, and formed the Twenty-sixth Regi- 
ment. Phis organization was perfected a few days before the battle of 
Shiloh, in which engagement the regiment bore a conspicuous part, and 
by the gallantly and heroism of its officers and men — many of whom were 
killed and wounded — elicited the praise and admiration of the distinguished 
and lamented soldier, Brigadier General Gladden, in whose brigade the regi- 
ment fought. 

The character of General Gladden as a soldier and a gentleman is famil- 
iar to the country. Many summers had passed over his head as his frosted 
locks plainly told, but the fire and spirit of youth returned to his bosom 
when the harsh tocs;n of war pealed its stirring notes over his native land, 
and old as he was, he was among the first to unsheath his sword in defence 
of our rights. He was kind and good to his men, though at times impulsive 
and seemingly harsh, yet the sincere and persuasive manner in which he 
would make amends for an unguarded speech, never failed to bind the 
aggrieved party more closely and warmly to him as a friend. 

He was wounded in the arm in the early part of the engagement on the 
morning of April 6th— soon after receiving which he passed down the 
line, his arm dangling by hi3 side, his face flushed, and burning with 
that wild and indescribable excitement that a battle alone can rive. I can 
never forget his words of encouragement— his last speech, as he'turned from 
us with the big tears streaming over his cheeks — •“ Go on my brave boys, 
they have hit -Old Dad;’ I know you will drive every Yankee before you into 
the Tennessee river.” The unwelcome intelligence now passed from lip to 
lip down the line, “they have wounded ‘Old Dad,”’ (a sobriquet given him 
by his men, which is but an evidence of the affection they bore him); and 
even there and then, under those appalling circumstances, while comrades 
were falling and bleeding by our side— while shot and shell were whistling 

around us — many eyes filled with tears — many hearts felt poignant grief as 

we were told that our leader had fallen. 

The amputation of his arm became necessary, and at his extreme age it 
could scarcely be expected that he would survive the dangerous operation. 
After several days of intense suffering he expired in the town of Corinth, at 
an advanced age in life, leaving a name and character which the breath of 
slander has never assailed, whose escutcheon is unstained, and whose short 
record in the army is a part of the glorious history of the South, which 
claims the admiration of the world. 

At the time the Twenty-sixth Regiment was organized, the twelvemonth’s 
term of the Seventh Alabama regiment was expiring, and Colonel John G. 
Coltart, of the Seventh, was appointed to take command as colonel of the 
Twenty-sixth; W. D. Chadwick, as lieutenant colonel; -- Gwin, as 
major. Under these field officers the regiment fought the battle of Shiloh. 
Colonel Coltart is of Scotch extraction ; tall and manly appearence, with a

teep blue eye, light hair and complexion, and about thirty-six or eight years 
of age. lie possesses a great deal of the ardor and enthusiasum charac- 
teristic of the natives of Scotland, all of which was fully developed in the 
early enlistment of every feeling and sympathy of his heart in behalf of the 
h>outh. He is a resident of Huntsville, where he has liveed for many years, 
in the enjoyment of the confidence and esteem of many friends. He was 
honored with the captaincy of the first company that left North Alabama, 
(the Madison Rifles) and at the organization of the Seventh Alabama, was 
elected lieutenant colonel under 8. A. M. Wood, of Florence, as colonel, 
and by the promotion of this officer he became colonel, which position he 
filled to the entire satisfaction of his regiment and superior officers, until 
the term of service for which the regiment enlisted expired in the first 
day of the battle of Shiloh, Colonel Col tart while actively engaged in the 
discharge of his duties received a painful wound in the ankle, which com- 
pelled him to leave the field, lie was known to all as a most zealous and 
efficient officer — never faltering or wavering in the hour of danger, and 
always ready to lead where he directed his men to go. He was a martinet 
in discipline, yet his requirements of his men were predicated upon good 
strong practical sense, and always promotive of the interests and good 
order of his command. His impartiality as an officer served to secure the 
esteem of his men and officers equally as much as did his unquestionable 
courage and gallantry on the field. 

After his retirement from the field of Shiloh, the command of the Twen- 
ty-sixth devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel W. 1>. Chadwick, whose conduct 
in the first battle of Manassas, while acting captain of the immortal Fourth 
Alabama, had won for him both far and near the title of the “fighting par- 
son.” His conduct, his fearless bearing and the skilful and prompt manage- 
ment of his regiment on the field of fehiloh, added to his merited reputation 
as a soldier. Many who participated, and others who witnessed, can 
never forget the bold and daring charge that he led on the enemy in strong 
position behind a large barn, which effected the capture of the Federal 
brigade of General Prentits. Colonel W. 1). Chadwick is a Presby- 
terian minister, in which capacity he has officiated in Huntsville, Ala., for a 
number of years ; much beloved by those whose spiritual welfare has been 
entrusted to his watchful care, and highly respected and esteemed by the 
entire community and all who know him. He is a man of sterling integrity, 
and great moral worth, and amid all the vicissitudes, trials, and temptations 
which besieged and beset a soldier’s life, he never even momentarily forgot or 
lost sight of his duties as a Christian, and the high and sacred position he 
held as a minister of the gospel. His exemplary course, his consistency as 
a Christian, the high consideration and respect he entertained for his men, 
the zeal and energy he evinced in supplying their wants, his kind and gentle 
ministrations to them in sickness has endeared the name of Colonel Chad- 
wick to all who served under him, and invoked the blessings of God upon his 

head. 

Major Gwiu was also wounded in the battle of Shiloh, arm broken. A 
very limited acquaintance with this officer prevents me from giving a sketch 
of his character. He was quite a young man to be, at the early stage of 
the war, a field officer, but his conduct on the field convinced those who fol- 
lowed him that he was worthy the position be filled. , 

The Twenty-sixth Regiment after the battle of Fhiloh, and the death of 
General Gladden, was placed in the brigade of General Gardner, an efficient 
and able commander, who afterwards was made the commander of Port 
Hudson, and was specially distinguished for his able and heroic defence of

that besieged point. The Twenty -sixth Alabama regiment, by reason 
of a regiment in the Virginia army bearing the same number, commanded 
by the gallant Colonel E. A O’Neal, of Florence, Ala., was changed from 
the Twentv-sixth to the Fiftieth Alabama, under which number it endured 
the hardships of the Kentucky campaign under Bragg, engaged in the bat- 
tles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and all battles and campaigns up to the 
surrender of General Johnston. 

But I cannot close this imperfect and rude sketch of the Twen 4 y-sixth. 
without noticing the gallant and lamented Colonel E. I). Tracy of the Nine- 
teenth Alabama regiment which was constantly attached, throughout the 
war, to the same brigade. He succeeded Colonel Joe Wheeler (afterwards 
major general of cavalry) in the colonelcy of the Ninteenth, and was 
eubsequently promoted to the rank of brigadier general, and ordered to Mis- 
sissippi. He fell mortally wounded at the battle of Port Gibson, while 
superintending his skirmish line General Tracy w r as one of the youngest 
generals in the Cumberland Army. He was a native of Georgia, having 
moved to Huntsville, Ala., where he married a most estimable lady, and be- 
came a citizen, enjoying a most lucrative practice in his profession of law. 
He was highly beloved and esteemed by all who knew him, and no man 
yielded up his lite on the altar of Southern liberty w.th fairer and brighter 
hopes of political renown than opened before and invited the young and 
c gifted Tracy. 

General Tracy was a warm and enthusiastic supporter of Breckinridge in 
which capacity on the stump in North Alabama, he gained an enviable char- 
acter as a public speaker. Many of the ablest and first minds of the State 
were brought in conpetition with him on the stump, and though young and 
inexperienced as a politician, yet the might and power of his spirited elo- 
quence, the appropriate and tel ing allusions a i l comparisons drawn from the 
classics, with which his mind was so well stored, were acknowledged and felt 
by all. • '* 

He sleeps now n a hero’s grave, far away from the State that gave him 
birth, but but he is not forgotten. Friends who loved him while living, and 
did him honor for his manv noble traits of character, shed the bitter tear of 
regret at his untimely fall, fair hands still strew the flowers of spring over 
the clod that presses and covers the noble and generous heart that respond- 
ed so promptly to his country’s call. But it is cold and pulseless now, dark 
• clouds have floated over his sunny South since the cold hand of death grasp- 
ed and severed its golden cord of life, yet their shadows were not cast upon 
that heart whose proud spirit is forever crushed, for his soul had sought a 
-home in the skies, leaving as a heritage to his friends, an untarnished record 
as a soldier and gentleman.

TWENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT ALABAMA INF. 

O 

In the fall of 1861, when the Federals were threatening Columbus, Ken 
tucky, Gen. Polk commanding the department of Kentucky and Tennessee 
called on the Governor of Alabama for troops to fortify some point on the 
Tennessee river, to prevent the gunboats of the enemy from coming into 
North Alabama. The Legislature determined to comply promptly with the 
requsition which was made on the State, and sent home several members for 
the purpose of raising troops and arousing the people in the Tennessee 
valley, to the necessity of taking immediate action, to prevent the invasion 
of the Northern part of the State. 

Hon A A. Hughes, then a member of the House of Representatives, from 
Franklin returned from the capital, and with that energy and perseverance, 
characteristic of the man, proceeded to organize companies for the purpose 
of forming a regiment to operate on the Tennessee river. Hon. T. J. 
Foster, of Lawrence, and other prominent men in the Northern counties of 
the State assisted in the work, and soon a sufficient number of companies 
were raised to form a regiment which was done at a point on the Tennessee 
river called St. Heinian, in honor of the gallant Col. Heinian, who was at 
that time in command at Fort Henry. 

The 27th Alabama was organized by the election of A. A. Hughes Col., 
James Jackson Lieut. OoL, and K Me Alexander Major. Company A was com- 
manded by Captain J. E. Moore, of Franklin ; company B, Captain R. G. 
Wright, of Franklin; company C, Captain Thompson, of Lauderdale; 
company I), Captain H. B. Irwin, of Lawrence ; company E, Captain T. A. 
Jones of Lauderdale; company F, Captain Roberts, of Madison ; company 
G, Captain Thos. McCulloch, of Franklin ; company H, Captain Humphrey, 
of Morgan ; company I, Captain Henry McGhee, of Lawrence ; company 
K, Captain Ray, of Lauderdale A few days after the organization of the 
regiment it was ordered to Fort Henry, which place was bombarded by the 
Federal gunboats, and after a gallant resistance of a few hours, the gallant 
Tilghman was forced to surrender. The 27th Alabama, with the other troops 
which were not captured, retreated to Fort Donelson, ten miles distant, on 
the Cumberland river and participated in that memorable seige which for 
courage and endurance was unparalelled in modern warfare ; and after a stub- 
burn resistance, that gallant garison was “outnumbered not outbraved.” 
The general and field officers were sent to Fort Warren ; the company 
officers to Johnson’s Island and the men to Camp Douglas. 

In consequence of the epidemics incident to newly organized commands 
and the exposure and hardships to which the 27th had been exposed, many 
officers and men had been sent to different hospitals and were not captured. 

After the retreat of General Johnston’s army from Nashville to Corinth 
Mississippi, the remnant of the 27th which were not captured, reported at 
Corinth and organized two companies, which were assigned to the 33rd 
Mississippi regiment, under command of Col. A. B. Hardcastle. The com- 
panies were commanded by Captain R. G. Wright ; Lieut. R. N. Harris, 
Lieut F. Le B. Goodwin and Lieut. H. Rodgers. Captain Wm. Word, Lieut. 

* unningham, Lieut. Chandler, and Lieut. A ndrews. « aptain T. A . J ones who 
had escaped from Donelson was elected Maj. of the 33rd. 

Those companies designated as Cos. I and K of the 33rd mississippi , 
followed the destinies of the army of Tennessee from Corinth to Tupelo 
mississippi — 'from Chattanooga, through Bragg’s campaign into Kentucky

and back to Shelbyville, Tennessee. At the battle of Perryville, on the 8th 
of October, both companies lost heavily in killed, wounded and captured v 
it was there that Captain Word was killed, while gallantly leading his com- 
man d — a chivalous, high toned gentleman, devoted to the cause which he 
had espoused ; he fell while pursuing the enemy, when victory seemed to 
perch opon our standard. In that engagement the two companies lost eight 
killed, twenty-ftve wounded and several captured, among whom was Lieut. 
Goodwin of company I. The 33d mississippi was then in Brigadier General 
S. A. M . Wood’s brigade, General Buckner’s division 

General Wood and fetaff were peculiarly unfortunate in the engagement at 
Perryville. The General wounded early in the action and carried from the 
field ; the command of his brigade, in consequence of so many field officers 
being killed and wounded, soon devolved upon his staff, one of whom, Maj. 
Gailer was killed and two others wounded, who afterwards died from their 
wounds. 

The writer of this sketch would do violence to the promptings of his heart if 
he did not make mention of two Alabamians, officers on General Wood’s 
staff, who died at Harrodsburg, Kentucky, from wounds received at the battle 
of Perryville. Major W. H. Price, of Florence, and Captain L. A McClung, 
of Tuscumbia. They were among the first to volunteer when the call 
was made for troops in the spring of 1861 — were officers in the same 
company, and devoted friends. After the expiration of the time for which 
their company had enlisted expired, they accepted from General Wood, 
who had been their company and regimental commander, positions on his 
stall — Major Price as A. S. 0. and captain Me Clung as aid de camp. They 
behaved with marked gallantry on the bloody field of Shiloh. Major Price 
was wounded, and Captain (then Lieutenant) McClung had his horse shot 
under him. In consequence of distinguished services rendered on that 
occasion, McClung was recommended to the war department for promotion 
and commissioned A. A. G., and placed on duty with gen Wood’s brigade. 
Two more chivalous men never drew their swords in defence of the 
Southern cause ; they fell in front of the line of battle while leading their 
brigade, near the close of this action. They died in the same room within a few 
days of each other, and now “sleep their last sleep,” side by side in the 
cemetery at Harrodsburg. 

Though far distant from home and prisoners of war, they were treated 
with every kinkness and attention ; “there was no lack of woman ’s^nursing — 
there was no dearth of woman’s tears.” Friends were not wanting to 
administer to their comfort and consign their bodies to the earth, and their 
graves were watered by tears from eyes “unused to weep.” 

Among the long list of Alabama’s sons, whose deeds of noble daring, 
cause our hearts to swell with heavings of gratitude, and whose distant foot- 
steps shall “echo through the corridors of time,” the names of Price and 
McClung are to be found surrounded by a halo of glory which time cannot 
eclipse — “none knew them but to love them, none named them but to praise.” 

Though the cause for which they fought is lost — though the banner which 
they delighted to bear through the smoke of battle is forever faded, their 
names can never be forgotten Hallowed are the immortal dead whose 
indomitabl * spirits have made the fields of the South immortal. The 
God of liberty accepts the offering, and though its incense has shed a gloom 
over the hearts of millions, still it is holy. It rises from a patriot’s altar, and 
whilst a nation’s tears water the green sod and drooping flowers that cover 
the soldier’s grave, the ir names are embalmed in the Southern heart. 

The 27th Alabama was exchanged at Yicksburg, iq September 186?

and reorganized by the election of the same field officers, at Jackson, Miss. 
It was soon sent to Port Hudson, where it was rejoined by that portion 
which had been in the army of Tennessee. . 

In October Colonel Hughes died from disease ; Lieutenant Colonel Jack- 
son was promoted to Colonel, Major Me Alexander to Lieutenant Colonel 
and Captain Wright of company B to Major — Lieutenant Watson was 
assigned to the command of company B, and Lieutenant F. Le B. Goodwin 
of company A. In April, 1863, the 27th was placed in General Buford’s 
brigade and assigned to duty in General Loring’s division, which was on 
the Big Black in Mississippi. On the 16th May it participated in the bat- 
tle of Baker’s creek. It was there when the army was retreating from the 
field that Captain W. A. Isbell of company G was wounded by a random 
shot, from which he died the following day. He fell near the place, and at 
the sa me time that brigadier General Tilghman was killed. Captain Isbell was 
from i ranklin county- -he entered the army as a lieutenant, in company G, 
and after the reorganization, was placed in command of his company. He 
was a good soldier, a kind officer, beloved by all who knew him. In his 
death the army lost a good officer, and his county one of its most popular 
young men. Lieutenant S. S. Anderson was promoted to his place. 

After the battle of Baker’s creek the 27th was not engaged again until the 
seige of Jackson, which lasted ten days. After the evacuation of Jackson 
by General Joseph E. Johnston, the army fell back on the railroad in the 
direction of Meridian, Mississippi, and remained several months — the enemy 
in the meantime, having retired beyond Big Black, General Loring’s 
division went into winter quarters at Canton. 

In the spring of 1864, the 27th and 35th Alabama regiments were detached 
and sent to North Alabama to recruit. Disease and battle had sadly 
reduced their numbers ; and they scarcely had a sufficiency to maintain their 
organization. In consequence of North Alabama being threatened by raids 
from the Federal cavelry, then at Decatur, they were enabled to do very 
little in the wav of recruiting their decimated ranks. 

In April Colonel Jackson, with one hundred men, crossed the Tennessee 
river in the night, attacked a camp of cavalry and captured a full company, 
with their horses, equipments, etc. He only lost one man and recrossed the 
river before the enemy, which was in close proximity, were aware of his 
movements. In May following, the regiment was ordered to the army of 
Tennessee, consolidated with several other Alabama regiments and placed 
in brigadier General Scott’s brigade. Colonel Jackson, being the senior 
officer, was retained in command. In one of the engagements near Atlanta 
he was wounded in the arm and had it amputated ; alter he had recovered 
from his wound he rejoined his command was placed in command of the 
brigade, which position he occupied when the Confederate forces surrendered. 

Colonel Jackson first entered the army as a private in tin; noted 4th Ala- 
bama. He was shot through the lungs at the first battle of Manassas and dis- 
charged from the army. As soon as he had recovered sufficiently to enable 
him to enterjhe field, he was made Lieutenant Colonel of the 27th. He is 
now Senator from Lauderdale county. He is man of imdomitable energy, 
strong will, great decision of character, and devoted to the South 

There were few regiments in the Confederate service in which mortality 
was greater than the 27th. It organized with eight hundred men, was 
recruited by two hundred more, and of that number three fourths had died 
or were killed before the surrender. In the battles around Atlanta and in 
Hood’s campaign in Tennessee, the remnant lost heavily. 

F. Le B. Goodwin, Representative from Franklin county, is a native of Vir-

ginia was educated at the University of that State, and came to Alabama in 
the fall of ’59, and located in Tuscumbia. During the presidential canvass in 
1860, was an earnest supporter of Bell and Everett, and took an active part in 
their behalf, frequently meeting on the stump the first men of the State. 

Educated in the school of the old line Whigs, and fully imbued with the 
principles of that party, he earnestly opposed the secession of the States 
from the Federal Union, but when the State of his adoption had passed the 
ordinance of secession, he was not slow to declare his intention to support 
her policy. 

In March 1861, when troops were called for by Governor Moore, to 
garrison the forts on the coast, he assisted in raising the first company, which 
was organized in North Alabama ; was commissioned a Lieutenant and 
ordered to Fort Morgan. His company afterwards was attached to the 2nd 
Alabama regiment, commanded by the gallant Harry Maury, of Mobile. 

In the present General Assembly, there are four other gentleman, who 
were members of the 2nd Alabama, Messrs Lanier and Ellis of the House, 
and Judge Norwood and Colonel Kilpatrick ol the Senate. 

After remaining at Fort Morgan until November, Mr. Goodwin resigned — 
returned home and entered the ranks of the 27th Alabama, which had just 
been organized and ordered to Fort Henry, on the Tennessee river. 

He with his regiment, after participating in the engagements at Fort 
Henry and Donalson, was surrendered when the latter place was capitulated, 
but making his escape, joined the army of General A. S. Johnson, which 
was then retreating from Nashville. He remained with the army 'of 
Tennessee from the battle of Shiloh to Perryville, when he fell into the 
hands of the enemy and was carried to prison. After remaining a few months 
in pr ison he was exchanged at Vicksburg and rejoined his original command, 
which in the mean time had been exchanged and ordered to Port Hudson, on 
the Mississippi river. At the reorganization of his regiment he was elected 
Captain of the company, in which lie was a private. His regiment remained 
several months at Port Hudson, and after leaving there was attached to 
Major General Loring’s division, and participated in the engagement on the 
the Big Black and the seige of Jackson. 

When Lieutenant General Polk’s corps was ordered to the army of Ten- 
nessee, the regiment to which Mr. Goodwin was attached, was consolidated 
with several others, and he, with other officers , were placed on detached 
service. He afterwards joined a cavalry command and remained in that 
branch of the service until the surrender of the Confederate forces. After 
the surrender he returned to North Alabama, located at Frankfort, the 
county site of Franklin, and resumed the practice of the law. 


EIGHTH ALABAMA REGIMENT INFANTRY. 

o 

No troops engaged in the Confederate cause had a more arduous and 
bloody parti dpancy of our struggle for liberty than the eighth. Indeed, to detail 
a length all ti-e battles, skirmishes and marches in which it was engaged, 
vvoiita be little less than to write a bis ory of the war in Virginia. 

It is the proud boast of the 8th that it never turned its back to t e enemy 
on the battlefield', nor failed to adv nice wten ordere 1. The regiment was organ- 
ized on the 12th .June,' 186*1, and was the first regiment in the State organized for 
the w v. John A. Winston was made Colonel ; John Frazer, Lieut. Colonel ; Thos. 
E. Irby, Major ; Thos. Phelan, Adjutant; and J. A. Robbins, Quartermaster 

Col. Winston, was a strict disciplinarian, and exacted a full discharge of duty 
from all under his command. He commanded in but oue important battle, and 


88 


PERRY & SMITH’S 

deported himself there in a very soldierly manner. He resigned his command 
soon after the battle of Seven Pines. 

Major Irby, was born in South Carolina, but for many years preceding the war 
was a citizen of Dalias count}?-, in this State. He was a brave and noble spirited 
man. Like many 01 our officers, he had but little military experience. He was 
however, rapidly acquiring the requisite knowledge and was on the road to pre- 
ferment. He was most enthusiastically devoted to the cause for which he fought 
and died. As hereafter detailed, he fell in the batttle of Willia •> sburg. 

Tom Phelan the Adjutant, who was son of the Hon. J. D. Phelan, of our Su- 
preme Bench, was raised in Perry county. He was a young man of pure morals, 
and intellectual endowments far above mediocrity. A brilliant future of honor 
and usefulness was in store for him if he had been spared. He fell at Gaines’ 
Mill. 

After its organization, the 8th lay in encampments many months around York- 
town in Virginia. During this time much skirmishing took place with the Yan- 
kee forces, w ose headquarters were at Fortress Monroe. Our troops made 
strong fortifications at Yorktown, and worked to a great extent on the same 
ground that had been fortified and fought upon by Gen. Washington in our revo- 
lutionary war. It is known to all that this was the scene of the surrender of Lord 
Cornwallis, and virtually of the termination of the struggle which resulted in 
bursting the fetters of British rnle, which had been so tyrannically exercised 
over< 8- From Yorktown the 8th marched to Camp Prudence, six miles down 
the river, thence to Big Bethel, fifteen miles. This place was the scene of an im- 
portant defeat of the Federals. Our troops, under Generals Hill and Magruder. 
met the Yankee forces commanded by Butler and Pierce, and most signally de- 
feated them. Pierce seems to have been lost sight of since that battle, and Gen. 
Butler has at no time been present in an engagement. From Bethel the 8th 
marched to Harwood’s Mill, eight miles. Here the eu my in strong force, under 
Gen. Hemtzelman, was first seen by the regiment, which, after a skirm sh, fell 
back to Wynn’s Mill, on Warwick Over a distance of eight miles. This was a 
point on our line of fortiftca ions which extended from Yorktown to James river. 

During the three weeks the command remained in position here, Lieut. Colonel 
Frazer having resigned, Major Irby was promoted to the vacant position, and 
Capt. Royston, of Company A, was made Major, and Thomas Phelan, the Adju- 
tant, was elected Captain of Company A. The brigade was here assailed in front 
by a heavy m>ss of McClellan’s troops, a large force of whom had secured posi- 
tions not more than three hundred and fifty yards distant. Here C^pt. Royston 
(bef re his promotion) with his own company and Captain Cleveland’s of the 8th, 
and three companies from a Georgia regiment, was ordered to move to the front 
and reconnoitre the position of the enemy, a part of whose lines and works were 
mask, d by a dense forest and undergrowth of pine. In discharge of the assigned 
duty, the Captain, with the gallant companies under his command, marched a 
mile down the enemy’s line within range oft eir fire, drove in their pickets and 
captured a part of their cam s, with much provision, and other stores. This 
dangerous service was most successful y performed, and was the m^ans of ma- 
king known to our Generals the character and extent of the enemy’s fortifica- 
tions, and the number of batteries in our front. 

On the 1st of May, 1862, Gen Johnston ordered a retrograde movemement to 
Williamsburg, twelve miles distant. Toe superior number of the enemy had ena- 
bled them to send troops up the York river, and thus to threaten both our flank 
and rear. At the same time that the 8th fell back from Wynn’s Mill, the labor 
was commenced of sending all the baggage, artillery, ammunition and army 
stores back to Richmond, and the whole army began a movement to the same 
point. 

On the morning of May 5th, the army of General Johnston , was slowly wending 
its way to Richmond over the most despicable road in t e Confederacy; a light 
clay soil fully saturated with rain and then cut up by the hundred thousand feet, 
hoofs and wheels of a large army, is no small impediment to a ma . ch. 

In the vicinity of Williamsburg, General Longstreet, who commanded the rear 
guard, was apprised early in the morning, that the enemy were pursuing in 
force, and he determined to give them a reception worthy of the cause he defend- 
ed. Here was fought on^ of the most warmly contested .actions of the war. In- 
fantry, artillery and cavalry were engaged, av*d never did Southern military 
prowess shine more conspicuously. The proportionate loss of the enemy has, 
perhaps, in no battle been greater than it was here. The 8th was then in Pry- 
or’s bridge, Lieut. Colonel Irby was a the ranking officer present in command.

At the commencement of the action, General Pryor ordered the regiment to be 
divided: The first bat allion, under Lieut. Colonel Irby, was placed in a redoubt 
of much strength near the centre of .our line of battle; the second battallion, 
under Major Royston, was ordered to hold a strong field work on our right. 

By 10 o’clock the battle was raging furiously on our centre and right wing. 
The gene al direction of our movements during the battle w-ts intended to turn 
the enemy’s left flank and throw it upon bis right. Tue 1st Batta ion, and also 
the 2d, were inten ed to hold the strong points to which they had been assigned, 
and were also held as a corps de reserve. After the battle had been for some 
time progressing, Lieut. Colonel Irby becoming impatient at the inactive duty 
assigned him, led three of the five companies under his command out of the for- 
tification lie hall been or e red to hold, and boldly dashed forward towards the 
lines of the enemy. He was soon met by overwhelming number s and as he had 
no support on the right, left or rear, he was compelled to fall back. Never did 
Spartan band make more heroic resistance than these three compani s. As 
slowly they fell back, their narrow front sent forth an almost continual sheet of 
well-directed fire, shattering the front of the advancing foe. Here Lieut. Colonel 
Irby w «s killed. 

The 2d Battallion continued to occupy the fortilie 1 position on the right until 
1 o’clock, when, in obedience to orders, Major Royston took three of the five 
companies under his command and double-quicked to our extreme left, to rein- 
force our troops in Port Magruder, who were then under attack. Soon after 
their arrival the enemy were repulsed. By 4 o’clock the bloody contest was over, 
and the Yankees everywhere defeated. The loss of the enemy in this battle was 
immense, our own not light. lain unable to give the number of casualties, tur- 
ther than to say t .e 8th lost 100 men. 

After this battle our troops received but little molestation on their march to 
Richmond. The 8th was posted in the neighborhood of the Capital, where it re- 
mained until th t 1st of June, when was fought the oat.tle of S-wen Pines. 

In this battle the 8th was commande \ by Colonel John A. Winston, Lieut. Col. 
Y. L. Roys on, (promoted vice Irby, deceased,) and Major H. A. Herbert, (senior 
Captain, promoted.) In this action the 8th at one time, led on by their impetu 
ous officers, had advanced too far into the enemy’s position, and nothing >ut the 
coolest bravery and the most perfec discip ine enabled them to fall back in or- 
der and form upon the genera 1 ne of bat le. I r , fought in Pryor’s brigade, Wil- 
cox commanding the division. The conduct of the Regiment was warmly lauded 
upon the ba tie field by Lieut. General Hill. In this action Major Herbert was 
taken prisoner, and Captains Lockey, Summers, Lieut. Kennedy, and many other 
gallant officers were killed. The loss of the Regimen' w vs 150 men. 

After this conflict the 8th returne 1 to camp near Richmond, and remained 
there until the inauguration of General Lee’s brilliant operations on the Cnicka- 
hominy. The command was now transferred to Wilcox’s brigade and still con- 
tinued in Longstreet’s division, where it had been since the 15th of April. On the 
16th of June Colon -l Winston resign* d liis command, and Lieut. Colonel Royston 
was promoted to the vacant position * 

On the 26th June, Wilcox’s brigade, with the rost of Longstreet’s division, 
m irched to the vicinity of Mechanicsville, at night crossing the Chickaho iny at 
Meadow's bridge. Here the troops lay upon their arms until daylight of the next 
morning. 

At a very early hour the enemy, who were in easy range, commenced firing 
upon Wilcox’s command. The participancy of the 8th in this struggle was only 
one of endurance ; it never returned the fire it endure .1, for at an eary hour the 
Yanks, under Fitz John Porter, were defeated by other brigades of the division, 
and commenced a rapid retreat down the river. The 8th, which was the regi- 
ment on the extreme right of Lee’s army, then took part in pursuit of the enemy. 
Wilcox’s brigade rapidly sweeping along the eastern bank of the Chickahominy, 
pressed upon their rear. Frequently were passed deserted camps, immense piles 
of clothing, provisions and every species of army stores winch the enemy had 
abandoned and committed to the flames. At 1 o’clock we approached the Yan- 
kee army and found them in immense force at Gaines’ Mill. 

it is a point very strong from its natural formation, and had received much ad- 
ditional strength from the skill and the labor of the engineers who had superin- 
tended the arrangement of its defenses. Soon after Lonstreet’s division arrived 
in view of the enemy, the plan of attack was settled, and at 3 o’clock the assault 
was ordered. The 10th and 11th Alabama regiments were the first ordered to the 
attack, and gallantly they rushed forward ; but assailed in front and flank, and 
Colonel S. F. Hale, of the 10th, and Woodward, of the 11th, being killed, the as-

wault was repulsed. The 8th a ad 9th*were then ordered forward. Truly this was 
a hazardous service ; no place tor fancy drilled, holiday soldiers. The much cele- 
brated ' barge of McDonald at Wagram was not opp.sed by greater difficulties 
and dangers than had here t < In overcome. The two regiments were exposed to 
a lire of twenty-seven pieces of artillery, most of which was in front, but a few 
pn:ce were in the rear on an elevation on the opposite bank of the river, all 
within exact range. 

In the front and on the right flank was an immense force of the enemy’s infant- 
ry protected by breastworks and dit lies of much depth and width; the 8th on the 
ext' erne right was mu h exposed to a flank fire, as we were outflanked in that 
direction by a quarter of a mile. At the command f rward. the 8th promptly ad- 
vanc-d, as did the brave 9th. Firmly, steadily and in good order they moved on. 
Bombs, canisters, grapeshot and minnie bails rained destruction <Jh their ranks, 
but bold y and defiantly they moved onward, and still onward, nearer, and still 
nearer, to the enemy’s works. Com rides were falling on the right and left, pre- 
cipices were to be climbed, deep ditches to be crossed, and b eastworks bristling 
with bayonets were to he over ome, and all to b^‘ achieved under a heavy tire 
from front, flank and rear, yet undismayed the 8th steadily advanced, every offi 
cer and pri* ate seemed inspired by the desperate duty in which they were en- 
gaged : th gallant Colonel was everywhere in the hottest of the fire, stirau'ating, 
urging and leading forward his command. At length the goal is reached, the po- 
sition is car-ied, the en my suffering im me. se slaughter rapidly retrea*. This 
was » glorious victory, but alas ! it was dear y bought. One-half of the 8th was 
killed and wounded, but fourteen commissioned officers were left unhurt. Many 
gallant officers fell here who deserve, and it is hoped will receive an honorable 
notice of their services. The writer feels constrained to deplore the loss of Phe- 
lan of Perry, and Henson, of Coosa, than whom two more chivalrous spirits have 
not fallen luring the war. Both fell in the ho test of the fight leading their com- 
mands t the assault. 

This b Hie was fought on Friday, 27th June, 1862. After the retreat of the en- 
emy the >th with the rest of the brigade encamped upon the battle-field and re- 
mained ' i ere until Sunday morning 

It was now ascertained that McClellan was retreating to the protection of his 
gunboat > on James river. Longstreet.’s division re-crossed the Chickam^uga at 
New Bridge, and passing near Richmond took the Darbytown road, and on Sun- 
day night camped near the ground where, June 30th, was fought the battle of Fra- 
zier’s Farm. The enemy had selected his position with much judgment as one 
calculated to arrest our pursuit of their retreating columns. 

They did not have such strong defenses as at Gaines’ Mill, but they had a high 
ridge and had availed themselves of all the advantages of their strong position by 
establishing batteries and ambuscades. Our line of battle was formed about 3 
o’clock in an old field. The whole brigade advanced in line of battle— -the 8th, 
upon this occasion, was upon the extreme left. To reach the enemy’s position, 
it was necessary to advance through an open space of four hundred* yards. On 
our left was a body of uncleared land, abounding in thickets of brush and under- 
growth, in which a heavy force of the enemy had concealed themselves. For 
some cause this woods had been overlooked by our Generals in forming the plan 
of a'taek. The result was, the concealed foe continued a most deadly fire upon 
our brigade d iring the contest, and the 8th, being neare t to the ambuscade, suf- 
fered more than any other regiment. The fire from the front was from six pieces 
of artillery and a heavy force of infantry. Here was met the celebrated Irish 
brigade of Tom F. Meagher. 

This bat’le was long and furious — each side, in its turn, was compelled to give 
ground. At one time the 8th was left almost alone in front of the enemy. They 
were ordered to fab !i ack in order. They were soon reinforced and returned to 
the attack, and drove the enemy from the position which he had so stubbornly 
defended. In this battle the 8th lost 90 of the 180 men who were engaged. Col. 
Royston was dangerously wounded in the head and hip. On the next day (Tues- 
day, the 31st) was fought the battle of Malvern Hill 

The 8th was present at this battle and held as part of the reserve, but it did not 
actively participate in the conflict. Indeed, so severe had been its losses in the 
previous battles, that its number of effective men barely equaled a company. — 
After this battle, the 8th, with *he rest of the brigade, were mart hed to camps 
near Richmond. Lieut. Colonel Herbert, in the meantime, having been exchang- 
ed, took command. They remained here until the 10th of August, by which time 
the ranks had been much strengthened by new recruits and the return of the 
slightly wounded and discharged from hospitals.

The regiment was now marched north vvard to meet the threatened attack of 
Pope from the Rappahannock. On this service much heavy and destructive 
skirmishing took place. On the - — da)’ of August occurred the second battle 
of Manassas. 

On this field the 8th fully sustained its dearly earned reputation for invincibil- 
ity. Its numbers again being respectable, it delivered its destructive fire into the 
Yankee invaders, covering the gronnd with their gay and tinseled uniforms. — 
They charged— the enemy fled, and their bullet-torn flag again floated in victor) ! 
In this action the regiment lost 60 men. 

The next duty it performed was to assist i'- the capture of Harper’s Ferry 

The 8th then marched into Maryland and took part in the desperate battle of 
Shars purg. 

Here again the metal of the regiment, was fully tested. Outnumbered three to 
one on the part of the field where it fought — a heavy force of infantry and who.e 
batteries of artillery firing upon their ranks — firmly they held their ground and 
steadily they delivered a destructive fire upon the heavy lines of the foe. Like 
the old French guard, every man seemed to know “how to die, but not to surren- 
der.” It was only when ordered that these veterans, black with powder and 
wearied with the labors f slaughter, fell back from the point they defended. — 
Heaps of slaughtered Yankees in their front attested the accuracy and efficiency 
of their fire. Its loss in this engagement was 67. 

After this engagemeot, Longstreet’s corps fell back into Virginia. After many 
marches and counter-marches, his headquartes were, on the 20th November, 
near Fredericksburg; and here, on ihe 13th December, 1862, was fought the bat- 
tle of Fredericksburg 

Colonel Royston, recovered of his wounds, was now in command. Our position 
here was a strong one — the lofty hills which surround Fredericksburg being very 
difficult to be carried. 

Burnside, relying upon his numerical strength and his powerful artillery, 
boldly crossed the river and threw an immense force of infantry upon Lee’s 
right and centre. Bold y the enemy approached our 1 ne, until in exact and cer- 
tain range of musket fire, when all our eleme ts of destruction seemed to open on 
them. Ranks upon ranks fell in quick succession — thousands of killed and wound- 
ed, horrible heaps of ma .gled humanity, were in view! Staggered, dismayed 
and demoralized, the survivors fled for safety— leaving us a cheap victory. In 
this action the 8th was upon the extreme lefr of the line and lost very few, as the 
attack was not heavy at this point. After this battle, the 8th remained on the 
Rappahannock, chiefly engaged in picke duty, until 30th April, 1863. 

The “Battle of Chancelorsville” may be said to have commenced on the 
30th of April and ended the 3d of May. The battles of Mary’s Heights, Salem 
Church and Chancelorsville, though each a sepa ate conflict and at different 
times, are all known as the battle of Chancelorsville. 

On the morning of the 3d of May, Genera Sedgw ck,in command of the enemy’s 
forces on this part of tiie line, succeeded in crossing the river below Fredericks- 
burg, and, making an attack with a heavy E force ; he drove Gen. Barksdale, after 
a stubborn resistance, fr jm the strong position of Mary's Heights. This success 
compelled Gen. Wilcox to fall back from his position to a point, six miles east, 
known as Sa era C .urch. Here w« re united the brigades of Wilcox, Mahone, 
Sims and Kershaw. Wilcox’s brigade was posted o the road by which the ene- 
my ad vance d» and, tor this reason, was the force chiefly engaged in the battle. 
The Yankees came forward rapidly with a f -rce of twenty-five thousand men, in 
pursuit as they supposed, of a fleeing enemy. N^ver was an army more confi- 
dent of victory. One regiment f ours manifested a lit- le want of discipline ; but 
when the enemy were w:thm forty yards, the brigad- fired and the advance line 
of the foe was annihila ed. The 8 rh, 9th and 11th regiments charged, as did all 
the brigade, a d the enemy comiienced a precipitate retreat, which they con- 
tinued u itil across the river. 

Th killed and wounded of the enemy were very numerous. Wilcox’s brigade 
captured 1,500 prisoners. In this action the 8th "lost 58 men. Colonel Royston 
was dangerously wounded, and the gallant Captiin McCrary, was killed. 

On other fields of deadly conflict — amidst booming cannon and sulphurous 
smoke — the battle browned 8th, with their muskets, discussed Southern Rights,

SEVENTEENTH ALABAMA REGIMENT INFANTRY. 

O 

This Regiment was organized in Aug ist, 1861, at Montgomery, Alabama, under 
the following field oir'cers : Colonel Thos. H. Watts, Lieutenant Colonel E. C. Far-

where they received the utmost, kindness from the warm hearted citizens of that 
vicinity. November 14th, ordered to Pensacola and assigned to Gladden’s brigade. 
Was present at the bombardment of November 21st. and 22d 1861, and January 

1st, 1862. In March, 1862, ordered to Bethel station, Tennessee ; remained there a 
few days scouting, and fell back to Corinth with the main body of General L. 
Polk’s command. 

In the latter part of March Colonel Watts resigned to accept the position of 
Attorney General in Mr. Davis’ cabinet, honored and loved by r.is entire com- 
mand. The regiment under command ofLieuten nt Colonel R. C. Fariss, assist- 
ed by Captains Holcombe and Burnett, participated in the battle of Shiloh on the 
6th and 7th of April, sustaining a loss of 125 killed and wounded. Again at the 
battle o Farmington, sustaining a slight loss. 

When Bragg’s army moved into Kentucky the 17th, 18th, and 21st Alabama 
regiments, depleted by sickness and casualties of battle, were "sent to Mobile. 
The 17th was changed to an artillery regiment and took charge of Picto Island 
and Bay-shore batteries. 

Colonel R. C. Fariss resigned. V. S. Murphey was promoted Colonel ; E. P. 
Holcombe, Lieutenant Colonel ; T. J. Burnett, Major. C. E. Sadler succeeded 
Holcombe, and L A McLane, Burnett, in their companies. The regiment remain- 
ed on artillery duty until March, 1864 While at Mobile they were commanded 
successively by Major General J. H. Forney, Major General S. B. Buckner, Major 
General D. II. Maury. Brigadier Generals S’aughter and Cantey. 

In March, 1864, a division was organized at Pollard, Alabama, under command 
of Brigadier General Cantey, consisting of an Arkansas brigade miner General 
Reynolds ; a Mississippi brigade under General Sears and an Alabama brigade 
consisting of the 17th, 29th, 21st Alabama and 37th Mississippi Regiments^ under 
Colonel *V. S. Murphey. These regiments were commanded by Lieut. Colonel 
Holcombe, Colonel John F Connelly, Colo -el Anderson and Colonel O. S. Holland. 
General Sears’ brigade was detached afterwards, and the other two were order- 
e tv > Rome, Georgia; remained in Rome a few days, and were ordered to Resaca, 
which place the brigade arrived in time to repel r,he assault made by Sherman’s 
advance, on the 9th, and saved the railroad bridge over the Ostanaula river — 
loss small. On the 12th 13th, and 14th, engaged in the battle of Resaca. On 
the first day, Lieutenant Colonel Holcombe, commanding regiment, was badly 
wounded ; Major Burnett succeeded him in command. On the 14th, Lieutenant 
Parker was killed in a charge.

THIRTY-FIRST ALABAMA REGIMENT INF. 

The men who composed this regiment came from the counties of Montgomery, 
Shelby, Talladega, Randolph, Calhoun, St. Clair, cheroke«; and Do Kalb. It was 
organized at Talladega on the 16th of April, 1862, b. ; the election of D. 11. Hund- 
ley, Colonel ; T. M. Arrington Lieut Colonel ; and G. W. Mattison, Major, who re- 
mained its field officers to the closing scenes of the war. About the 1st of May, 
it was sent to General Kirby Smith at Knoxville — being then upwards of 1100 
strong — and 4 re. rained with him in East Tennessee during the summer ; and in the 
fall of that year became a part of Barton’s Brigade, participating in the battle of 
Tazewell and the investment of Cumberland Gap under General Stephenson. — 
After the abandonment of the Gap by the enemy, it went into Kentucky as far as 
Frankfort under the atter General, his command being then a part of General 
Bragg’s army. After the retreat from Kentucky, as a part of Stephenson’s Di- 
vision, it was transferred to Vicksburg to reinforce General Pemberton. In the 
Spring of 1863 it became a part of Tracey’s Brigade, and parties ated in the bat- 
tle of Port Gibson. After the fall of General fracev, Stephen D. Lee took com- 
mand of the Briga e, and under him it participated in the battle of Baker’s 
Creek, and the seige of Vicksburg, and was surrendered with the rest of the 
army. Upon the exchange of prisoners this regiment re-assembled at Demopolis 
in the fall of that year — became a part of Pettus’ Brigade (which was composed 
of the 21st, 23d, 31st and 46th Alai. ama Regiments,) and was soon after sent to 
General Bragg at Chattanooga, where it participated in the battles of Lookout 
Mountain and Missionary Ridge. It thence shared the fortunes of the army of 
Tennessee— was with Joh ston in his retreat t Atlanta — making part in all the 
principal engagements — and went with Hood on his march to Nashville. After 
the return of the army to North Mississippi, Pettus’ Brigade was sent to North 
Carolina, and took part in the battles of Kingston and Bentonvibe, and was finally 
surrendered with General Johnston’s army. 

This brief outline has not given even the names of all the battles in which the 
31st Regiment was engaged — and, of course, can give no conception of its pa- 
tience in the midst of toil, suffering, and privation, or its dauntless courage in the 
the midst of perils. Its roll of gallant dead who fell in acti n, which 'cannot be 
given here, is its best eulogy. Whether fighting in the open field as at Port Gib- 
son — or defending entrenchments as at Vicksburg — or charging breastworks, as 
at Columbia ; or residing charges of cavalry, as on the retreat from Nashville ; 
it always proved itself worthy the State from whence it came and the noble 
cause it struggled to up old. 


FORTY-FIRST REGIMENT ALABAMA INF. 

— O 

The Forty-first Alabama Regiment was in the Battle of , Murfreesboro in Han- 
son’s Brigade, and lost 187 killed and wounded. General Hanson was killed and 
Brigadier General B. H. Helm, of Kentucky, was assigned to the command of the 
Brigade. Jn May, 1863, with the balance of Breckinridges’ Division, the 41st 
Alabama, with Helm’s Brigade, was transferred to Jacks*. >, Mississippi, and was 
with General Joseph E. Johnston on the Big Black and in the battles around Jack- 
son in July, 1863. In August, 1863, the whole of Brecki ridges’ Division returned 
to General Bragg’s array at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was in the battle of . 
Chickamauga on the 19th and 20th September, 1863, in which battle the 41st Ala- 
bama lost 186 killed and wounded. When President Davis visited Missionary 
Ridge in October, 1863, the 41st Alabama was transferred by his order to Gracie’s 
Alabama Brigade, and the Brigade was immediately ordered to East. Tennessee 
with General Longstreet, and was in all that memorable and terrible campaign, 
and in which the Regiment sustained great losses. 

In April, 1864, Grade’s Brigade, composed of 41st, 43d, 59th, 60th Alabama 
Regiments and 23 » Al abama Battalion, was transferred to Richmond, Virginia, 
and was in the battles in front of Richmond and on the Chiekahominy in May 
1864, and was also in the great battle of Drewry’s Bluff on the LOtli May, 1864. 
This Brigade was afterwards in the trenches in front of Petersburg and in all the 
engagements there from the 17!, h June, i.864, to the 20th March, 1865, and waspre* 
sent at General Grant’s elebrated ‘‘explosion” on the 30th July, 1864. 

On the 20t& March 1865, the Brigade was transferred to the extreme right of the 


94 


PERKY & SMITH’S 


army, and was in all the battles there until the final retreat of General Lee, on 
the 2nd of April, and was also in the daily engagements occuring during the re- 
treat, and was present at the surrender at Appomattox Court House on 10th April, 
1865, having sustained very heavy losses in killed and wounded. 

On the 25th March, 1865, at the battle of Hatcher's Run, the Brigade was com- 
manded by Brigadier General Moody, and subsequently, until the final surrender 
of the Army, it was command d by that gallan and distinguished officer, Colonel 
M. L. Stansel of the 41st Alabama. 

It is worthy of remark and greatly to the credit of this Brigade, that it did the 
last fighting done by the great and immortal army of Virginia, and ceased firing 
under the flag of truce announcing the surrender of tht army. The history ot 
the Brigade is the history of each Regiment of which it was composed. 

The Field officers of the Regiments composing Gra de’s Brigade (afterwards 
Moody’s) were as follows: 41st Ala., Col. M. L. Stansel, Lieutenant Colonel T. G. 
Trimmier (killed March 31, 1865,) Major L. T. Hudgins (killed June 17th 1864) and 
succeeded by Major J. M. Jeffries; 43d Alabama, Colonel T. M. Moody (promo- 
ted,) and succeeded by Colonel J J. Jolly, and Major Mims; 59th Alabama, Col- 
onel Bolling Hall, Jr., Lieutenant Colonel Huguly, Major Crumpler; 60th Alabama 
Colonel J. W. A. Sanford, Lieutenant Colonel D. S. Troy, Major Hatch Cook, (kil- 
led March 31, 1865.) 23d Alabama Battalion — Major N. Stallworth. 


SIXTIETH REGIMENT ALABAMA INFANTRY. 

The sixtieth regiment of Alabama infantry entered the service of the 
Confederate States as a part of Hilliard’s Legion. This Legion, consisting 
of three battalions of infantry, one of cavalry, and one of artillery was 
organized at Montgomery, Alabama, by olonel H. W. Hilliard, on the 25th 
day of June, 1862. These battalions were known as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 
4th. The first, consisting of seven companies, was under the command of 
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Thorington, with John H Holt as major ; the 2nd, 
having six companies, was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bolling Hall, 
Jr., with W. Stubblefied as major ; the 3d was composed of six companies, 
under the command of Lieutenant Colonel J. W. A. Sanford, with Hatch 
Cook as Major ; and the 4th, consisting originally of three companies, was 
under command of Major Reeves. The companies of this battalion were 
subsequently divided, so as to make five, and all but one was converted into 
infantry 

The history of the larger number of the troops, forming the 60th Alabama, is 
identical, or nearly so, with that of “Hilliard’s Alabama Legion. 5 ' To give, 
therefore, even a sketch of their career, it will be necessary to follow the 
Legion through its brief but arduous existence, which was terminated m the 
midst of Longtreet’s celebrated winter campaign in East Tennessee. 

The legion remained in Montgomery after its formation until iuly 8th, 
1862. when it went by railroad to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where it was 
stationed until August 4th ; it was thence moved by railroad, to Knoxville; 
and took up the line of march from that city for Cumberland Gap, on the 12th 
of that month. After halting at Tazewell a few days, it joined the forces of 
major General Stevenson, then beseiging Cumberland Gap. On the 18th of 
September, it entered that stronghold. After occupying that place for a 
fortnight, it set out on the afternoon of October 2d, to re-enforce the army 
then invading Kentucky, and united with the main body of our army just 
after the battle of Perryville. vSoon after General Bragg determined to 
retire from Kentucky, and the legion made a part of the rear guard in that 
famous retreat. J t arrived at Cumberland Gap on the afternoon of the 2 2d 
of October, having undergone with great fortitude, sufferings, hardships 
and privations, seldom paralleled in the recent war. 


MONTGOMERY DIRECTORY, 


96 


On the 4th day of November, the legion set out for Knoxville. It 
# remained there a few days and continued its march to Loudon, thence it was 
transported to Bridgeport, and after a brief interval, back again to Knox- 
ville. Prom that place the battalions were sent to different stations. The 
1st battalion spent the winter at Olinton and at Big reek Gap ; and the 
third passed it at Olinton, Kingston, and at Knoxville. 

During the winter the legion became a part of the brigade, commanded 
by Brigadier General A. Grade, Jr. And between the 4th and 10th of 
TpriL 1863, ad the battalions assembled at Lee’s Springs (under the com- 
mand of Colonel Jack Thorington, who had been promoted, vice Colonel 
Hilliard, resigned. About the 16th of April, the command moved to 
Cumberland Gap. Remaining there a short time it marched to Bean’s 
Station, and thence to Morristown, it was ordered back again to Cum- 
berland Gap, and arrived there on the 22d of May. The 1st and 3d battal- 
ions were on duty at that point until the 9th of August, and then marched, 
via Strawberry Plains, Knoxville and Turkey Creek, to Loudon, where it 
remained a few days. 

On the 1st of September, with the remainder of Buckner’s Corps, the 
legion began the evacuation of East Tennessee, and frequently marched 
night and day. 

Participating in the chase of the enemy in Me Le move’s Cove, it arrived 
at Lafayette, Georgia, about the middle of September. It had marched since 
it left Cumberland Gap, three hundred miles. After resting a short time, it 
set out in search of the enemv and found him on the evening of the 18th of 
September, on the banks of the Chickamauga. On the 19th, the legion was 
held in reserve ; but in the afternoon of the 20th, it joined battle. The first 
battalion carried 230 men into action, and lost 168, in killed, wounded and 
missing. The third battalion went in with 219, rank and file, and lost 50 
in killed and wounded ; (the loss sustained by the 1st and 3d battalion is 
only mentioned, because they composed the 60th Alabama regiment.) 
Among the mortally wounded of the 1st battalion, was the gallant and 
accomplished Lieutenant Colonel John H. Holt. Major Daniel S, Troy was 
afterwards promoted to the command of that battalion. 

On the 22d of September, the legion moved from the battlefield to Mis- 
sionary Ridge, and remained in front of Chattanooga, under the guns of the 
enemy, until the 22d of November. On that day it was put in motion to 
re-enforce Lieutenant General Longs treet, then besieging Knoxville. When 
it arrived at Charlestown. Tennessee, on the 23rd of November, 1863, (Col. 
Thorington having resigned) . the battalions were united in regiments. 

The third battalion, and four companies, A B C and D. of the first battal- 
ion, composed the 60th Alabama regiment. Its field officers were, Colonel 
John W. A. Sanford, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel S. Troy, and Major Hatch 
Cook. Its rolls showed an aggregate, present and absent, of 752 men. Of 
this number some died of, and many were disabled by, their wounds received 
at Chickamauga. Ater a hard inarch, the regiment reached Knoxville in time 
to be engaged in the gallant but unsuccessful attempt to carry that place by 
storm, on the 29th of November. On the night of December 4th, the 
regiment, with the remainder of Longstreet’s corps, withdrew from Knox- 
ville ; and marching towards South Western Virginia for several days, 
halted near Rogersville. It remained there until the dawn of the 1.4th of 
December, when it, with a part of the army, re-traced its steps towards 
Bean’s station, where it found the enemy strongly posted in the afternoon of 
that day. After a severe engagement of several hours, the enemy, under

PERRY & SMITH'S 


General Shackelford, was driven from the field. In this affair the 60th Ala- 
bama regiment bore the brunt of the engagement, and lost more men than 
any body of troops engaged. This was owing to the fact that it was 
moved forward six or eight hundred yards, through an open space, exposed 
to a murderous fire of artillery and small arms, to dislodge a regiment 
posted in a large brick tavern and out-houses. Its charge was brilliant 
and successful. 

From December 14th, 1863, until about April 26th, 1864, the regiment 
was in East Tennessee, and almost constantly in motion, it marched from 
the battle field to Morristown, thence to Dandridge, thence to Brabson’s 
Ferry, on the French Broad, thence to Lick creek. From Lick creek, it 
went to Zoll-icoffer, and from that place to Abingdon, Virginia. During the 
campaign, the troops were stationary no wherelong enough to complete winter 
quarters, and being scantily supplied with blankets, shoes and clothing, they 
suffered greatly from inclemency of the weather, 

It is doubtful whether any portion of the Confederate army ever suffered 
greater hardships and privations than were endured by our troops in Long- 
street’s memorable campaign in East Tennessee 

From Abingdon, Grade's brigade (of which this regiment was a part) 
was transported to Richmond. It arrived there on the 20th of April, 1864, 
and encamped in its vicinity until May 6th, when it was ordered to Drewry’s 
Bluff. At that point, it skirmished with Butler’s Forces on the 9th and 10th. 
At midnight of the 11th of May, the regiment was marched rapidly back to 
Richmond, and early on the morning of the 12th, skirmished with Sheridan’s 
troops, in front of that city. There it had only 8 men wounded. On the 
14th, it was ordered again to Drewry’s Bluff, and on the 16th participated 
in the achievement of the brilliant victory General Beauregard won over 
the enemy. On that occasion, this regiment occupied the extreme left in 
the first line of the Confederate army, and behaved so well, that General 
Grade complimented it on the field for its gallant conduct 

After following the enemy, and confronting him in his retreat at Bermuda 
Hundreds, until the 20th of May, Grade’s brigade was ordered to Chafin’ s 
farm. 

On the 21st, the 60th Alabama regiment was detached and placed on duty 
in the city of Richmond. It remained about that place, until June 19, when 
it was ordered by Lieut. General Ewell to Bottom’s Bridge, to support a 
battery of artillery, and to co-operate with General Hampton. A few days 
afterwards, it was sent to New Market, and temporarily attached to the 
brigade of General Custis Lee — then confronting the Federal forces at Deep 
Bottom. About sunset of the 7th of July, this regiment took up the line of 
march, to rejoin Grade’s brigade at Petersburg. It arrived there on the 
8th, and at dark on the 9th of July, entered the trenches around the city. 
It held that position until March 14th, 1865, a period of nine months. During 
that time it was exposed to an almost incessant fire of musketry ; and to 
daily cannonades and bombardments of the most furious character. Conse- 
quently it lost nearly one-third of the men it carried into the trenches 

Leaving the trenches on the night of March 14th, 1865, it proceeded to 
Hatcher’s Run, below Petersburg, where it was engaged with the enemy on 
March 25th. On the 31st day of March, it took part in the battle of White 
Oak Road — and lost 102 in killed, wounded and missing. Among the form- 
er, was the gallant Major Hatch Cook, who fell in the early part of the day. 
while the enemy were retiring before the irresistible attack of four brigades 
of Anderson’s corps : McGowan’s South Carolina brigade, Hutton’s Virginia 
brigade, Moody’s (Graeie’s) brigade, Wise’s Virginia brigade. 

From the 31st of March until the 9th of April, when it closed its arduous 
career, it rested neither day nor night. The highest encomium that can be

pronounced on this regiment, is the simple statement of the fact, that it w&s 
a part of that gallant band of 8,000 men whom General Lee could muster 
for battle on the 9th of April j and that on the morning of that day, it went 
into action with its wonted enthusiasm and its usual success ; for when the 
news of the surrender of the army was received, its men were huzzaing 
over a captured battery and a routed foe. 

This regiment served successively in the following divisions : McCown’g 
in the army of Kentucky, Wm. S. Preston’s, Buckner’s corps, army of 
Tennessee, Buckner’s division in the army of East Tennessee, commanded 
by Longstreet — in Ransom’s division in Beauregard’s army, and in Johnson’s 
division in Hill's corps, Anderson’s corps and Gordon’s corps, in the army 
Northern Virginia. 


FORTY-FIFTH REGIMENT ALABAMA INFANTRY. 

o 

The Forty-fifth Regimen* of Alabama Volunteers was organized at Auburn, 
Alabama, about the 1st of May, 1862, with the following field officers; Colonel 
Goodw n of Macon county ; Lieutenant Colonel James G. Gilchrist of Lowndes; 
and Major E. B. Breedlove of Macon— which gentlemen successively filled with 
credit and ability the office of Colonel of the Regiment. Five of the companies 
were from Macon County, two from Russell, two from Barbour and one from 
Lowndes. 

The Regiment immediately after its organization, was ordered to Corinth, and 
met the army under Beauregard at Tupelo, Mississippi, where in the severe or- 
deal of ne w camp life, the Regiment was called upon day after day, to pay its 
last tribute of respect to the mortal remains of many of its most gallant and meri- 
torious members ; but this gloom and dispondency was soon disipa ed by the 
prospect *of breathing the pure air of Tennessee and Kentccky, and in a short 
time the iron-horse carried the joyful soldiers through their own beloved Ala- 
bama, cheered b} r the smiles of her own beautiful and lovely women, who gather- 
ed at the depots and the stations, bring ! ng their welcom offerings to those 
who were fighting the battles of their country : and buoyed up, too, with the hope 
of gaining glory and conquest on the sacred soil of Kentucky. 

The Regiment landed at the little village of Wahatchie near Chattanooga, sur- 
rounded by a high range of mountains on both sides, and in a few days along 
with Braggs army commenced the long and dreary inarch into Tennessee, over 
the lofty range of the Alleghany mountams. No enem 3 r was seen after traveling 
day after day. Kentucky was reached, but still no battle, soon the boom of can- 
non is heard in the front and a fight is expected ; but no fight yet; o,000 federals 
surrendered at Mumfordville and filed by in silent and harmless array. The word 
is forward and all look with bright anticipation io the pleasure of taking Louis- 
ville, but there is a turn to the right, and as the boys are going through Perry- 
vilie, the boom of cann- n is heard. It is Buell. Hardee has determined to meet 
him. The Forty-fifth Alabama is drawn up in the little village of Perryville, de- 
serted and left desolate by its once happy inhabitants. \ battery must be taken, 
and the regiment is ordered to take it. The first fight and every man tries his 
best. The gallant Gilchrist on his old Gre} r tells the boys to forward, and with a 
yell they go forward, to take the Ba’tery; they do all that human bravery 
could do, but it was impossible to take it, supported by a corps of the enemy, 
and the regiment s owly and sullenly retired, having lost a great many of its most 
gallant men and officers. The regiment followed Bragg’s army on its retreat to 
Knoxville and then went to Murfreesboro, and took an active and gallant part in 
t' e battle of Murfreesboro, in the Brigade of General Pa ton Anderson. After 
this battle it was put in the Division commanded by General Cleburne, in Wood’s 
Brigade, afterwards commanded by Gen. Lowery It took an active part in the 
skirmishes around Belt Buckle, Tennessee, and after many a dreary aud tiresome 
march, and oft expected battle, it went into the battle '?f Chickamauga on Satur- 
day evening, when with th^ res" ofthe Division it made one of the most gallant 
charges of the war. On the next day, Sunday, 20th Sept., 1863, it went into 
one of the hardest and m*ost terrible battles of the war; and the number of its 
dead on the battlefield attested that the regiment had done its duty. 

The long resting spell after this is too monotonous to speak of, nor could its 


98 


PERRY & SMITHES 


many marches or its frying expectation of getting into act on, be related in a 
short sketch. 

AtResaca it was engaged in a severe skirmish, also at New Hope church 
where the Division hurled back the victorious colurens of Logan’s Corps and in 
fact on every day from Dab on to Atlanta it was continually fighting. 

On the 22nd July, 18G4, it went into one of the bloodiest and hardest actions of 
the war, loosing one haP of it men and officers, and here, too, its gallant and be- 
loved Colonel H. D. Bampley received a mortal wound and died at Marietta, Geor- 
gia, in the hands of the enemy, so: etime in August. And in this action major 
George C. Freeman had one of his legs shattered by a musket ball whilst gallantly 
leading his men to the charge, on account of which wound he had to have his leg 
amputated. 

“ How sleep the brave who sink to rest, 

By all their country’s wishes blest.” 

It next participated in the battle of Jonesboro, August, 31st, where, as usual, 
“old Pat’s boys” drove every thing before them. And then came the long and 
disastrous march into Tennessee, and to tell of its miseries and sufferings would 
require more time and space than we have to spare. 

On the evening before the battle of Franklin, at the little village of Bpringhill 
the regiment drove the outposts of the enemy before them, “Old Pat,”" looking 
on and saying it was one of the most gallant teats of he war, and on the next 
day, “the great the important day,” just as the sun was sinking in the west it 
went into the terrible battle of Franklin, with waving banners and with that 
yell which Southern boys alone know how to put up, and what was still mo r e 
.impressive and enoouragi g, with tlieir beloved General Cleburne leading them 
onto victory or death; and with him they-met death calmiy and heroically ; 
human valor could do no more. And as we pass on let us breath the name of 
Captain John R. Carson, of company K, a noble and gallant youth who fell here. 

“How beautiful in death the soldier’s corpse appears, 

Embalmed by fond affection’s breath and bathed by woman’s tears; 

Oh ! let me die like those who for their country’ die, 

Sink on her breast in calm repose and triumph where they lie.” 

At Nashville it sustained its ancient and a knowleged character for bravery 
and honor and though it participated in the disorderly retreat it preserved its 
honor entire, and so to the the last, away in the piny words of North Carolina 
when compelled by the foie of war to surrender its arms, each man as he placed 
his gun on the rack to be turned over to the conquerer, felt a conscious 
pride that he beloged to a regiment that had at all times and under all c ircum- 
s lances, sustaind a high and and honorable name and received the approvirg com- 
pliments of General Loweiy and General Cleburne. 

It surrendered at Greensboro, North Carolina, about 28th April, 1865, having 
been consolidated with the 1st, lGth and 26tli Alabama volunteer regiments, a 
short time before under the name of the 1st Alabama consolidated regiment, 
with R. H. Abercrombie, Colonel, James Jackson, Lieutenant Colonel, of Macon, 
county; Ellis Phelan, Major, Montgomery. 


TWENTY-THIRD REGIMENT ALABAMA INFANTRY. 

O 

This Regiment was organized November 19th, 1861, in Montgomery, Ala- 
bama, and elected the following field officers: Colonel, Frank K. Beck, of 
Wilcox ; Lieutentant Colonel, J. B. Bibb, of Montgomery ; Major, Felix 
Tait, of Wilcox. Soon after organization, the regiment was ordered to Mo- 
bile, and attached to General Gladden’s brigade, and remained there until 
Feb., 1862 — when it was ordered to the Department of East Tennessee, com- 
manded by Gen. E. Kirby Smith, and placed in Gen. Ledbetter’s brigade. 
It was soon afterwards transferred to General Seth Barton’s brigade. While 
under his command the regiment marched almost constantly up and down 
the different valleys and across the mountains of East Tennessee. In June 
the Twenty-third was transferred to General j homas H. Taylor’s brigade. 
Major Tait resigned, and was succeeded by Capt. J. J. Longmire, of Wilcox. 
The regiment remained with Brigadier General Taylor, forming a part of

Major General C. L. Stephenson’s Division, Kirby Smith’s Corps, through 
the Kentucky campaign of 1862, marching nearly to the Ohio River. 

After coming out of Kentucky, the troops from the same States were 
thrown together as much as possible, and the 23d, with the 20th, 36th, 31st 
and 46th Alabama Regiments, were formed into a brigade, at Lenoir's Sta- 
tion, near Knoxville, and placed under the command of Brig. Gen. E. D. 
Tracy, of North Alabama. The brigade was soon after ordered to Murfrees- 
boro’, and thence to the Department of East. Louisiana. Arrived at, Vicks- 
burg, January 1st, 1863, in time to participate in the engagement at Chicka- 
saw Bayou, under Gen. S. D. Lee. The Brigade remained in and around 
Vicksburg until the latter part of April, 1863, when it moved in the direction 
of Grand Gulf, below Vicksburg, and at daylight on the morning of the first 
day of May, met General Grant at Port Gibson, Mississippi, where with 
Gen Bowen's Division, making in all less than five thousand men, they fought 
all day, and retired late in the evening, crossing Bayou Pierre, and burning 
the bridges. The command recrossed the Big Black, and took position near 
Warrenton, nine miles below Vicksburg. On the afternoon of the 13th of 
May, moved in the direction of Edward’s Depot. On the morning of the 
16th, met General Grant again, and fought the battle of Baker’s Creek. At 
the battle of Port Gibson the brave and chivalric General Tracey was killed. 
Brig. General (afterwards Lieutenant General) S. D. Lee made application 
for the brigade, and took command near Warrenton. On the 17th, partici- 
pated in the fight at Big Black Bridge, and, by some oversight, Col. Beck 
failed to receive orders to fall back, and the consequence was the regiment 
was left alone at the Bridge, and resisted the crossing of Gen. Grant’s army 
for nearly twelve hours. Of course, all were glad to see Col. Beck and the 
Regiment, as it was believed the command had been captured. Gen. Leo 
complimented the regiment for i^s gallantry. On the 19th, went into the 
Trenches around Vicksburg, and fought every day and night, undergoing 
all sorts of hardships. Gen. Pemberton surrendered on the 4th July, and 
the regiment was paroled on the 12th, and marched to Enterprise, Miss., 
a distance of about 150 miles. On the 26th, received furloughs of thirty 
days, with orders to report at expiration at Demopolis. Col. E. W. Pettus 
of Dallas was promoted to Brigadier General, and took command of the 
Brigade, which was exchanged and ordered to Lookout Mountain ; remained 
there until 23d November. The Brigade acted with distinguished gallant- 
ry at Missionary Ridge, 24th and 25th November ; fought all day on the right 
wing, repulsing the opposing forces, and retiring after night on account of 
disasters on the left and centre. Went into winter quarters 1st December, 
1863, at Dalton, Ga. The brigade participated in the battle of Crow’s Val- 
ley, 20th July, 1864. 

Major Longmire resigned, and the commission for major was forwarded to 
Capt. F. McMurray, of Union Springs. Capt. McM. did not accept on ac- 
count of wounds received at Port Gibson and Missionary Ridge, having lost 
a hand at the latter place. Capt. A. C. Roberts, being next in seniority, 
his papers were forwarded to Richmond. 

On the 6th of May, the command left winter quarters and took position on 
Rocky Face Mountain, and fought there until the night of the 12th, when it 
moved in the direction of Resaca. On the night of the 13th the regiment 
was put on picket. On the morning of the 14th commenced skirmishing- 
brought on the engagement, and lost very heavily in the main batttle that 
afternoon. Fought all the next day — in fact, almost every day and night, 
down to New Hope Church. 

On the morning of the 28th, Captain A. C. Roberts, Co. C, was killed, 
before having received his commission as Major. Capt. J. T. Hester, Com- 
pany D, was made Major.

The Regiment was in all General Johnston’s campaign, and with General 
Hood. On the morning of the 31st August, fought the battle of Jonesboro 7 . 
On the 2d September, Atlanta was given up. From the 6th May until the 
31st August, the regiment was almost daily under fire. In September moved 
around to Palmetto ; 29th, started on the Tennessee campaign under General 
Hood. On the morning of October 12th, Resaca was surrendered. That 
brave and gallant officer, Col. Beck, was killed by camion shot. Col. B. 
was noted for true courage : nd heroism, and was kind to the men under his 
command. Lieutenant Colonel Bibb was made Colonel, and commanded 
the regiment until the surrender. 

The regiment behaved gallantly at Columbia and Nashville. Gen. Cum- 
mings 7 Georgia brigade covered the retreat to the Tennessee river; crossed 
the river and arrived at Tupelo, about the 1st January, 1865. On the 19th, 
received orders to go to South and North Carolina ; in February, arrived at 
Branchville, and fought Sherman from there on to Bentonville — at which 
place it was under the command of General Johnston. In April, ordered to 
Saulsbury, to meet a raid by General Stoneman. Remained there until the 
general surrender in May, 1865. 

The 23d had between eleven and twelve hundred men, from first to last. 
Left ‘ Rocky Face’ on the 6th May, 1864, with four hundred and thirty mus- 
kets. Surrendered at Saulsbury, seventy-six men — the balance having 
been killed and disabled in the different skirmishes through which the com- 
mand had passed, and a few deserted. 


SEVENTH BE GJ WENT ALABAMA CAVALRY 


0 


\ The seventh Alabama cavalry was organized at Newbern Alabama, from men 
not liable to conscription, by Captain Joseph Hodgson of the veteran first 
cavalry. The organization was completed July 22d, 1863, and officered as 
follows : Colonel, Joseph Hodgson, Montgomery ; Lieutenant Colonel, H. J. 
Livingston, Autauga ; Major, Turner Clanton, Macon; Adjutant, Wm. T. 
Charles, Montgomery; Quartermaster, Wm. K. Byer, Pensacola; Assistant 
Surgeon, Williams, Pickens; Captains: Frtmk C. Randolph. Montgomery ; 
E. lb Ledyard, Mantgomery ; B. C. Tarver, Montgomery ; Chas. S. Storrs, 
Coosa; L. H. Mottier, Shelby; A. H. Bright, Pensacola; 0, P. Knight, 
Randolph; S. V. Ferguson, Pickens; I>. P. Scarborough, Green; and 
Dalton Yancey, Montgomery. 

It was originally intended as one of the regiments of the brigade of Gen- 
eral Jas. H. Clanton ; but soon after reaching Pollard it was detached from 
that brigade and retained upon coast duty for nearly one year, operating in 
front of Mobile and Pensacola. It was engaged in no affair of importance, 
until Genera] A sboth advanced from Pensacola with a brigade, in Septem 


her, 1864, and attacked three companies of the seventh, stationed at Gon- 
zalia, about fifteen miles from that place. A gallant defence was made by 
Captain Tarver until he was forced to retire before the artillery of the enemy. 

Early in October, 1864, the seventh was ordered to report to General 
Forrest, at Corinth, and from that time until the close of the war underwent 
continuous and severe sevice, winning for itself a special compliment in 
general orders and a high reputation with the corps. 

Being assigned to the brigade of Colonel E. M. Rucker, the seventh soon 
became a favorite of that gallant officer, furnishing him as an escort the 
company of Captain Storrs, whieh had been organized at Tuscaloosa by the 
Cadets of the University, and was composed of some of the best young men of 
the State. This company of mere boys did excellent service, wherever 
placed, and always reported more men for duty during a fight than at any 
Other time.

Moving up into West Tennessee, this regiment did special servi •;> ia the 
attack upon Johnsonville, in which the enemy lost so many gunboat. , nans* 
ports, and subsistence stores to the value of six millions of dollars. After 
the fight General Chalmers complimented the seventh in a genera- rder, for 
gallant conduct. Immediately after this affair a portion of Rucker's com- 
mand crossed the Tennessee and joined the advance of General Hood, 
The remainder were compelled by the swollen streams to make a detour by 
way of Farmington and luka. Upon the arrival of Forrest, General Hood 
commenced his march upon Nashville, Rucker’ s brigade of cavalry in the 
advance. Before reaching Mount Pleasant, on the 19th of November, the 
enemy’s cavalry was struck, and a running fight kept up until he was driven 
into Columbia, on the 20th. On the 23rd, the cavalry skirmished all day in 
front of Columbia. On the 24th they charged and carried two of the ene- 
mies’ lines. At Springhill they drove in the opposing cavalry, and carried 
three temporary works. In one unsuccessful charge upon the fourth line, 
about twenty- five officers and men of the seventh got within fifty yards of 
the enemy’s infantry, and could neither advance nor ietire, being compelled 
to take shelter under a hill until Cleburne’s infantry relieved them. 

On the 1st day of December the regiment moved towards Nashville, and 
was placed on picket duty within three miles of the city, until the 7th, 
when it was sent with a battery of Parrot guns to blockade the Cumber- 
land river. While on that duty it engaged the Iron-clads of the enemy 
for three days, disabling the boldest of them. Being ordered back to the 
line of batte, the 7th reached the brigade at Davidson’s, on the Charlotte 
pike, while it was retreating in disorder before the enemy, and was imme- 
diately thrown into line to protect the retreat. After a severe fight the 
advance of the enemy’s cavalry whs checked. The 7th then rejoined the 
brigade and formed in line of battle within one mile of Brentwood, where 
occurred that night oiie of the bloodiest and most terrible cavalry fights of 
the war. 

The Granny White pike runs out from Nashville almost parallel to and 
only one mile distant from the Franklin pike. Three regiments of Ruckes’s 
brigade, were placed in line of battle one-half mile from the point where the 
Brentwood road from the Franklin pike crosses the Granny White pike. 
Major Randolph with the 7th Alabama cavalry was stationed on the Brent- 
wood road, one half mile West of the Granny White pike, with instructions 
to defend the left and rear of the brigade from a division of the enemy’s 
cavalry, and if too severely pressed to notify Colonel Rucker, and fall back 
to the point of intersection of the two roads. About sunset Major Randolph 
was ordered to fall back to the intersection, as Colonel Rucker was routed ; 
but upon reaching that point discovered the brigade in flight, with the Fed- 
erals advancing rapidly, they having reached the point of junction in 
advance of the 7th, and cutting off retreat in that direction. 

The regiment being dismounted was formed into line hastily and thrown 
upon the flank of such of the enemy as were passing, who, in the confusion 
caused by the attack, were driven back and forced to dismount. It was now 
dark, and several charges of the enemy were repulsed by firing in the direc- 
tion of the light of the guns and the rattling of sabres. Meantime two 
regiments of the enemy which had passed the intersection in pursuit of 
Colonel Rucker, attracted by the firing behind them^ returned at full speed 
upon the rear of the seventh. Supposing that they were a portion of 
Rucker, s brigade returning to his assistance, Major Randolph accosted the 
head of the column, but"upon finding them to be the enemy, he shot the man 
with whom he had been talking, and, galloping back to the regiment, opened 
fire at twenty-five yards distance. Many of the enemy were killed and 
wounded by this volley, and his column thrown into confusion. It wai

s 



now nearly nine oclock and the enemy were pressing forward in front and 
rear, they and the seventh firing at twenty paces distance by the flashes of 
each other's guns. Colonel Rucker had already been captured and wounded, 
and hence no orders came as to when and in what direction to retire. 

W it h great difficulty the regiment was drawn off finally, and succeeded, by 
marching on foot through :the woods, in reaching Franklin about day-break, 
to which place the horses had been withdrawn. In this affair Lieutenant 
Fitzpatrick of Montgomery was killed, and Lieutenant Dickerson and Cap- 
tain Hughes captured. The killed, wounded, and prisoners of the line 
numbered more than fifty. 

On he neft day, December 17th, began the retreat from Trennessee, 
whit e 'manned until the 29th, when Hood’s shattered army recrossed the 
river. On this retreat the seventh Alabama fought daily and nightly with 
the enemy’s advance, until Christmas day, when he stopped pursuit after a 
severe punishment at Pulaski. The regiment commenced operations in this 
campaign with about 350 men and officers. On reaching Corinth it num- 
bered for duty four officers and sixty men, the rest being killed, wounded, 
prisoners or dismounted. 

Captain Storrs and Lieutenant Nabers were wounded at Columbia; Lieu 
tenant Golsou of Autauga and Lieutenant Caffey of Montgomery were 
wounded, near Columbia ; Lieutenant Oshborn, of Greene, dangerously 
wounded on the 27th ; Lieutenant Goldth waite, of Montgomery, was wounded 
at Franklin. 

W hile the Tennessee regiments of cavalry, of which Forrest’s command 
was largely composed, were furloughed temporarily — the seventh Alabama 
was kept on picket duty, to watch the movements of the enemy at Tus- 
cumbia and other points of the river. It was given no time to recruit its 
strength, but upon being relieved after a month was ordered to report to 
Gen. Buford at Montevallo, Alabama, about March 1st, 1865, where the Ala- 
bama cavalry were being organized into a division. Within ten days after 
reaching that point, the regiment had over three hundred mounted men for 
duly, so rapidly did it prepare for action after the disaster of middle 
Tennessee. 


« News having reached Montevallo of the repulse of General Clanton’s 
command by the Federal army marching upon Blakely, the seventh and 
fourth Alabama wrnre dispatched in haste to Selma, and thence to Greenville. 
Reaching Greenville it was discovered that the enemy in front was too strong 
to attack, and that a more formidable danger menaced from the rear. Gen- 
eral 'Vilson with his Federal corps had reached Montevallo about four days 
after me seventh had left. General Buford, who had preceeded the seventh 
to Greenville, immediately drew in the remnants of Clanton’s brigade, and 
ordered to Montgomery his whole division of about four hundred men, of 
whom the seventh Alabama composed at least two-thirds. 

On the 7th day of April, the seventh Alabama, with the Cadet company in 
advance, most of the members being residents of Montgomery, as indeed 
was a large proportion of the regiment, marched into that city about sunset. 

1 he streets were crowded with excited citizens, who had just heard of the 
fall of Selma, and who looked upon the arrival of Forrest’s men with the 
liveliest joy. The ladies waived their handkerchiefs and the soldiers cheered 
back with new life. Such a reception amply repaid the exhausting labors of 
the winter. 


Being ordered immediately to Benton, in Lowndes county, the regiment 
awaited the approach of the enemy from Selma. About noon, on the 10th 
of April, the scouts and pickets were driven in, and soon, from the hill upon 
which our little line of three hundred men were drawn out, it seemed as if 
wot less than ten thousand of the enemy was advancing upon us. The open

fields, which were visible for miles, appeared to be never weary of receiving 
the advancing columns. The seventh and fourth awaited the advance 
brigade of the enemy and exchanged shots with them until our line was 
broken, past power of reformation, by the charges of the enemy. We fell 
back, fighting at every availabe point, and being forced to retire as often as 
we made a stand. The enemy pressed the regiment very hard as it entered Big 
Swamp, and had it not been for a few resolute men and officers, whom Col- 
onel Hodgson succeeded in forming at the foot of the bridge, and by whom 
the head of the enemy’s dashing advance were shot down, the entire com- 
mand must have been captured while crossing the long swamp. 

That night the seventh camped at Pintlala Bridge, upon the Wire road ; 
and the enemy to the number of seventeen thousand, as General Wilson 
stated subsequently in his report, kindled their camp fires in the heart of 
Lowndes county, their advance having reached Lowndesboro. 

On the 11th day of March, the enemy reached Catoma creek, and got 
possession of the bridges upon the Hayneville road. At night he kindled 
his camp fires within sight of the flames of the burning warehouses of Mont- 
gomery, and our cavalry, with heavy hearts, filed at mid-night through the 
deserted streets. On the morning of the 12th, the enemy’s advance again 
struck the little line of battle of the seventh and fourth, near Three mile 
creek, upon the Mount Meigs road. From that point for two days the march 
of General Wilson was obstructed, as far as the feeble force of cavalry in his 
front would permit, at every available point. The bridges and swamps 
were made skirmish grounds, and every mile of the road to Columbus, 
Georgia, was marked with blood. 

The bridges between Montgomery and Columbus were burned long enough 
to permit a small force to be collected for the defence of the latter place. 

Upon reaching Columbus, Georgia, the seventh was divided into detach- 
ments. One detachment reported to General Cobb to watch the unfinished 
line of works, and fill the gap in the infantry, on the West bank of the river. 
The other two detachments were stationed above and below the city upon 
the East bank, to prevent any attempt of the enemy to cross in boats. 

On the night of the 16th, when not a ray of light except that of the burst- 
ing shells was visible, the enemy charged our line of works, and having 
succeeded in throwing a column of cavalry through one of the gaps between 
the works, got possession of the bridges in our rear and isolated the garrison. 
The line broke in confusion, General Buford and his staff dashed through 
the enemy at the mouth of the bridge and crossed under a heavy but uncer- 
tain fire. In ten minutes the city was full of Federal troops, and the roads in 
all directions full of fugitives. The intense darkness added to the disorder. 
Friend and foe galloped past each other unrecognized. 

The order of General Buford being that his cavalry, in case of the loss of 
Columbus, should concentrate at West Point, the seventh Alabama was 
compelled to march from the South side of the city around to the North, 
crossing all of the roads leading from the city, which by this time were full 
of the enemy moving out to overtake the trains. In making this march, 
which lasted until day-break, the rear of the regiment was fired into as it 
crossed the railroad ; and narrowdy escaped another rencounter upon the 
Macon Road. Just as it’s rear crossed the latter road, and was hidden in 
the forest, a Federal regiment galloped past in pursuit. About sunrise of 
the 17th, having struck the West Point road and pressed forward towards 
West Point, in obedience to General Buford’s order, the light of the burning 
wagons immediately in our front announced that the enemy was moving 
down from West Point. The seventh and fourth, disgusted with the loss of 
General Adams and General Buford, whose whereabouts were not known ;

with the absence of half of their men, scattered to the four, points of the 
compass, and with the enemy moving on all the sides of the triangle of 
which they were the centre, concluded to switch off into the woods and wait 
for further developments. In two days the roads became clear and the 
march was resumed. Hearing that General Buford had crossed the river 
above West Point, and was making a bee-line for General Forrest, the 
seventh concluded that its duty was to follow its leader, and started in pur- 
suit. At Dadeville, was heard the first rumor of General Lee’s surrender. 
At Wetumpka was received the terrible shock that the rumor was true. At 
Marion, the regiment heard of General Taylor’s comtemplated surrender; 
and at Newbern the seventh Alabama cavalry, while camped upon the very 

E round on which two years before it had been organized, received from 
ieut. Gen. Bedford Forrest an order to march to Gainesville to surrender. 
No more gallant officer could have given the order, and no better soldiers 
could have laid down their arms. Although the organization was made late 
in the war, it was one of the oldest regiments of Forrest’s corps, and was 
composed chiefly of men who had served in various regiments of infantry. 
The officers were principally from the ranks of the first Alabama cavalry, 
and Semple’s battery. During it’s term of service it lost about two hundred 
men in killed, wounded and prisoners. 

The regiment was paroled at Gainesville, Alabama, on the 14th day of 
May, 1865.
